Ustrax,
I have nothing to contribute to this amazing game of "line up the blurs" but I just wanted to say that I don't actually care if none of your names are used in the end, if all of your diagrams turn out to be inaccurate, and all the elevations prove to be hopelessly wrong; with your energy and enthusiasm and passion, having you as our cheerleader for this adventure is like having Willy Wonka showing us around his factory. Onwards! -------------------- |

I've tried using that HRSC DEM for animation (…) Not very good. Okay. But you already have it. Can I try? But I will try to make an artificial bump map with picture of Endeavour. -------------------- |

Why do you need to ask me if you can try? The data's all at the HRSCView website, including an IDL based routine to turn it into easily usable formats.

Wow, Other Doug, I didn't think anybody would be able to top my poem, but you did it!

QUOTE I have nothing to contribute to this amazing game of "line up the blurs" My friend, I am sure that as soon as the haze in the horizon starts dissipating and the peaks of Endeavour start calling you like a syren you will come up with something...fitting... QUOTE I don't actually care if none of your names are used in the end Well...it worked in the past... QUOTE if all of your diagrams turn out to be inaccurate, and all the elevations prove to be hopelessly wrong You can say that's part of my charm...can't you? And it's always a good opportunity to give the others the chance to show what they know... Ultreya! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Fortunately I long ago downloaded and saved some images of Endeavour peaks from exploratorium, considering that those images no more seem to be available otherwise than in the JPL site. So, I had an idea to make a couple of long baseline anaglyphs of those peaks in the horizon. The stereo baseline is about 50 m, ie. the distance between Oppy's location in sol 950 (right eye images here) and sol 955 (left eye). The baseline is wide enough to clearly distinguish between horizon features, at about 3 km distance, and Endeavour objects, at about 15-35 km distance.
The images are 2x vertically stretched. Hopefully the anaglyph form works to you. |

Using these images, would it be possible by triangulation to evaluate the distance between Opportunity and the hills, thus confirming (or not) Ustrax's identification?

Can you provide the original images? I am sure we can do something from it... charborob, I am pretty sure James nailed Cook, the doubt is about the twin peaks, dubbed here Banks and Solander, but if Mr. Canvin got it right once I am following is line of work... btw...those guys at drivability analisys are way beyond us...we're already there! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

In spite of the dusty, cold weather,
We're off to explore more together! Let's march with the band (It's one that's unmanned) To Ithaca! - I mean, Endeavour! -------------------- Jonathan Ward

marswiggle! Where have those anaglyphs been all this time?! Beautiful! Can you provide the original images? I am sure we can do something from it... My anaglyphs were made about 5 hours ago if I remember correct The idea of checking and using those old images just occurred to me when I saw that old strethced image sent by you. I have a bunch of images, all dusty and cobwebby from long storage and in a complete chaos I'm afraid.. But at least I can attach the original ones here. Let's see if they suit in one post. No they didn't but I'll send another post. (I thought it best to send complete pairs in the case I happen to have both parts of a stereo pair.) |

One of the peaks can be clearly seen on the today's set of pancams. There we go! We've never been so close -------------------- |
