Like a lot of people, the new HiRise imagery has had me scrambling to learn about JPEG2000 (jp2) files, and trying to find software and plugins for manipulating and editing them. A lot of that discussion has been taking place in the MRO 2005 topic. We now have two MRO passes providing amazing stereo over much of Opportunity's trek, and it sounds as if we will soon have some Spirit coverage. I can hardly wait for that.
Anyway, I'm starting this thread for anyone wanting to post new HiRise imagery of places Opportunity has explored in the past. I'll start it with an anaglyph. Even though Meridiani is pretty flat, the MRO images were so fine that I really wanted to see how much detail I could get from them. Spectacular Victoria has already been nicely done, so I had to look elsewhere. I thought Beagle Crater and the transition to Victoria's annulus would be of interest to some people. I'll post this as a jpg that fits the forum size limit, but should we sometimes use the better jp2 format even though all users may not be prepared to view them? -------------------- ...Tom

I am struck by the number of 5- to 10-meter circular depression features I can see scattered through the dunes, both in the Payson view and (especially) in the Purgatory view linked above.
I'm not as familiar with the full panoply of drift structures as some others here -- are such circular features common in windblown drift/dune structures on Earth?
