Might I humbly suggest this new thread, as Victoria looms large before us..?
GREAT images guys. I was out last night and have only just got online, to find Victoria opening up ahead of us... what a fantastic time!

While we are waiting for the final steps towards Victoria I did the following exercise trying to identify two far rim features (A and
 seen on sol 931 pancams with their counterparts on a MOC image. Yes, this has been already done by Pando (for , but I've got different results.Comparing this identification with Pando's, there is a difference of just 2 degrees in the absolute heading of the feature I identified as B and the one identified by him (slightly to the NE). The problem is that if I rotate the polar projection and the heading lines by those 2 degrees counter-clockwise, the near rim features I used as reference don't match (specially the one to the right of and the pancam pointing information (taken from the PCDT web) would be off by those 2 degrees too.We should know the "ground truth" in few days, hopefully after only one driving sol, but meanwhile I would like to know your comments.

Carry on... EDIT: Actually, going back thru the messages for past few days, I would also like to credit jamescanvin who correctly identified it in this post very early after the images were down (which I missed while fiddling with the images myself). |
