Here's that view looking back towards Endurance:
But with a large vertical stretch... which makes very subtle horizon topography a bit easier to interpret. It shows Endurance and the bright spot which is presumably the Heat Shield - my only reservation about that would be that the same image has a couple of other bright spots on it which can't be the Heat Shield. But presumably the one near Endurance is. We also see Viking and Voyager craters as dark patches, and the rover tracks. The tracks are offset - coming from Voyager crater they stop in a dark spot and are offset to the right before continuing to the foreground. The offset is at Purgatory. One other interesting point: look at the difference in tone between plains near Endurance and those near Viking/Voyager. There must be subtle topography in there. Endurance probably lies in a lower area, or perhaps it's related to dune/ripple size differences. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Impressive, Phil. I think you could be right on the heath shield, unfortunately we don't have other useful images in this direction in order to exclude hot pixel explaination...
Here I made a version with lower vert. exhaggeration (2x) but removed most jpeg/noisy artifacts: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
