Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time. ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.

Nirgal,
indeed, I still use Autostitch and Michael T's anti-vignetting tool. Which of the panorama's do you prefere? Post no. 263 or 267? Regarding the parameters for antivig. I always use the standard parameter "Protect bright pixels 7" After antivig I use Paint Shop Pro 7 for equalizing the brightness and contrast of the images as much as possible and in Autostitch I set the first Gain parameter to 0.2. Ant103, I use Autostitch for stitching the images. It is freeware and it's a great program. www.autostitch.net You can also read the autostitch thread in the tech forum. jvandriel |

And there's more to it than just enjoyment. Thanks to the tireless efforts of you guys to produce these panoramas, the 'true color' vistas, the 3D anaglyphs, I've recently noted a fundamental and precious shift in my mental appreciation of the 4th planet from the sun. The environs of the Columbia Hills in Gusev Crater have now become a place to me! I believe you could drop me down here somewhere (appropriately garbed, preferably) and I would know where I was! I would be able to set off for Comanche to do a little amateur geology of my own. I'd, yes...feel at home here! I could drive around here in a rover, more or less with the same serene comfort that I drive around Kaneohe, Hawaii. I wasn't getting this at JPL's site. They seemed to have lost the interest or resources to stitch up the panoramas or assemble the colors or the 3D. That's why I hunted for this forum. I owe you guys a lot, even if I don't always express my gratitude. I've seen some of planet Earth, but I also know some of Mars. Damn! -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Yes, indeed! And it's made even more real when Nirgal and Astro0 offer us one of their marvelous creations -------------------- |
