I still don't understand the reason for using the least accurate point on the map (the last position) as your primary reference when there are so many other real features around that can be seen both on the map and in the images. Furthermore I don't understand why you would rather use sub-degree angle changes between two cameras 20cm apart when you can use angles of 100's of degrees between features seen on the ground. Back in the badlands when there was nothing around that was exactly what we were doing, and when we get out onto Victoria's apron it may be the right thing to do again. But here, in possibly the most feature rich area in rover history, it makes no sense.
If the 883 point was 7m further south the features just do not fit, hence that position must be wrong wrt the MOC image, end of story. It doesn't matter how far we drove on that sol, that's not what the map shows, it just shows a sequence of rover positions wrt the MOC image. Anyway, moving on to 884 - I hope we all agree on this position. ![]() Fairly obvious - but I've double checked the bearings to the features around just to be sure. ![]() James -------------------- |
