Yes, it will only be looking a narrow angle from west (288 degree) to south (108 degree) ... I suppose that the summer time the sun would be passing to sunset on that angle.
Or perhaps, that angle is the proposed route so the team wants to focus closer the terrain toward the Mogollon rims. It might means that the rover will advance too. I think that the only change has come out from Pancam Tracking Databaes is that now it does not show any engineering commands that previously had appeared. Still not sure but I noticed and it might be too early to jump conclusions. Rodolfo |

That's not the way I read the PDT (Pancam Data Tracking, I think it's time to abbreviate this) I beleve that it reads navcam_7x1_az_288_3_bpp 7 navcam frames centred at az 288 degrees navcam_3x1_az_108_1_bpp 3 navcam frames centred at az 108 degrees Note that 288 - 108 = 180. i.e the centres are in opposite directions. Also note that 10 navcam frames generally make a 360 degree pan. So these two lines should be read together as simply "A 360 degree navcam pan". James -------------------- |

I didn't know that to make a 360 panoramic pictures needs 10 Navcam. Rodolfo |
