Thought this deserved a new thread- we can't talk about EVERY LRO target in the one thread
 I made a mistake in this one - I didn't include the thruster plume guards. My MER/MPF simulation for HiRISE seemed to come out about right - so fingers crossed that this will be there or there abouts as well. Still in a comissioning phase, something of a slant angle - I'd expect approx 1.5m/pixel if it's at the 120km figure mentioned earlier.

Seems strange to see the sites with sun from the west, though. Never saw these sites in afternoon sun before!
I am *really* looking forward to the pics that will come down from the science orbit! -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
