To answer Ustrax's querries from the other thread, I think we can now see more of the south west rim of Endeavour and Iazu. In this image I've lined up the views from 1987 pancam (colour on bottom, from Astro in this post) and 2136 navcam (top, from Ant's navcam mosiac):

The leftmost (Endeavour north rim) and middle (far rim) features look similar. But it looks like we can see more stuff on the right, which is Endeavour south rim and Iazu. The view we had a few sols ago (2133) of Iazu was still partly obscured by dunes, so it makes sense that we can see more now.

I can't see Bopolu in the navcams, though it could be there and buried in the jpeg noise...

So much to see in these latest navcams. Here's an example of a definite dark feature on the horizon, in front of (part of??) Iazu Crater (lighter band above horizon):

I think this is what you were refering to recently, Ustrax? My kingdom for a pancam view... pancam.gif laugh.gif

Exactly Fred! Thanks. Looks like a real feature but I am having some hard time figuring out what it may be comparing with satellite imagery...
This is definitely my kind of thread...bring those pancams and let us find some abysses and stuff! biggrin.gif
