The latest pancams show some interesting bumps on the far horizon as well as long 'swells' on the plain that might respond well to 'phil-o-vision'. Time for the 'Distant Vistas' team to resume work? I'm not going to attempt the first identifications as I have little idea what azimuths we're looking at. Also I don't know what visibility to expect with the current dust levels.

Bopolu again, though still not the rightmost part: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...29P2374L2M1.JPG
Here is a list (left to right) of all the distant features visible from Cape Tribulation. I hope it's complete, if not please add. (I will insert some relevant post numbers from this thread as edits.) 1/ Iazu, including the prominent northern bluff, nice phil-o-vision from fredk in post 33 2/ Crater south of Iazu, noted by Phil Stooke, post 59 3/ 't-ridge' left of charborob's hill, posts 110/111 4/ 'charborob's hill', noted by charborob and identified by James Canvin, posts 16 and 20 5/ Miyamoto rim, with two nearer hills in front, post 102 for the clearest view - also includes features 4 and 6 6/ Another nearer hill a few degrees to the right of Miyamoto 7/ Bopolu, with 'Victoria-twin' crater in front, posts 4 and 117 8/ '500m crater at 14Km' identified by James Canvin, post 4 We have had clear Pancam views of all of these features except for the left end of 3 (terrain obstruction) and the right end of 7 (no imaging yet). I still hope that James will do another of his excellent reverse polar views showing all this. |
