To answer Ustrax's querries from the other thread, I think we can now see more of the
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... |

Here's my attempt at pulling Bopolu out of the haze and jpeg noise. Average of L5 and L7, contrast and 3x vertical stretches:
[attachment=20701:Bopolu_sol2140.jpg] Bopolu in its entirety would subtend around 18 degrees for Oppy, while this bit's only about 2 degrees wide. So presumably we're seeing just one high part of the rim now. |
