Splendid imaging (& processing)!
Can anyone shine any light on the rectangular shape to the left of ChemCam's lens, in the centre of the main 'head' housing? It almost looks like an unused aperture that has been 'taped' over, or perhaps it is a filter of some sort? Dean |

Spectacular image of the rover! And in 3D! It was the right choice by the JPL planners to do this, for public outreach, etc. We'll be seeing this image a lot. I can't think of another shot better than this one of a spacecraft on another world, at ground level, other than Apollo crafts, of course. It's a historical image. Let's hope we get more self portraits in due time, maybe next to the huge sand dunes when we drive past, later at the canyon's entrance, even later way up on the mountain overlooking the blackened landing site far below, a distant smudge on the plains! Congrats to the team putting this together. As already stated, powerful way to outreach.
