This is what delayed my Anatolia map. It shows what is possible with these panoramas, I note that this is easier in very low relief areas...
This is not perfect, and in particular the crater's outer slope was not imaged completely and is distorted here. There are other distortions too, including a sort of fish-eye effect which makes Eagle bigger than it should be and distant areas smaller. The hard part is just making the image in the first place, but once you have it, it can always be rubber-sheeted to fit better positional control. Eventually, this map (or an improved version) and similar maps of other areas where quite a lot happened, will form the basis for an atlas-style presentation of the whole mission.

Congratulations, Phil!
If you need an helping hand for the atlas presentations, I'm here! BTW, can someone indicate an existing 3D/elevation map of Eagle crater? this would allow to correct all distorsions Phil is talking about! (otherwise, we need a volunteer armed wit patience and Parallax calculator... ) -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
