MRO flight rules limit the off-NADIR pointing to 30 degrees. But that's only 24 degrees difference, it might allow one to see the bottom of the cave. It would almost certainly allow seeing the wall of the cave. Still, this is turning to be a highly unusual feature.
Oh, SHARAD might be able to find the depth of the cave, I'm just guessing though. Also, you might be interested in knowing that the HiRISE team talked about the cave in a HiOPs meeting last Monday, we were joking that MSL should repel down into the cave, and then we thought, well, it can already repel, skycrane... Hmmm... |

Regarding the "work" I've done with the image, Alfred McEwen told me that it may be "scattered light", "the camera optics are excellent but not perfect."
But, might I add, the closest to perfection I have ever seen... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
