QUOTE so camera elevation will underestimate latitude by a few degrees. The latitude of the site is known: 14.6* S. Using that and other info the altitude, azimuth, etc can be calculated and the approximate RA and DEC of the photo can be determined, which would narrow down the search. Or wait a couple of weeks and they'll tell us at the JPL/MER site... --Bill -------------------- |
