5 downsampled navcam frames from sol 2078 are down. Someone might want to make an animation.

Exciting to see at least some movement. It almost looks like we might be taking the forward option? From the data available it is hard to judge whether it is more probable that we will get out or not, but being an optimist I think we will eventually inch our way out in time to find a wintering place.
May interest some people ....... just posted a version 3 of the Sol 2002 (Aug21st) sunset movie on YouTube with the sun continuously tracking down to give a more realistic effect. Will do some final corrections/colour adjustments on a V4 soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZtWGy0XcCQ or type into search:- mars august sunset v3 |

Beside the colour adjustements you could yet implement the local true time generating with http://www.greuti.ch/oppy/html/filenames_ltst.htm
