There are to see few new details at well-known points and right behind Castril Crater a new big crater in the very distance. Could you imagine that pan when the air in Gusev would be clean I count five DDs in the pan. The big one and the elegant are nice extras. -------------------- Peter MER filename decoding into local true solar time - MSL clock and filename decoding

Starting from great Tman pano, I made a version stretched, colorized and enhanced in the sky portion, in order to better view Gusev Rim and DD's (I clearly see 5 of them, but some vertical dark stripes suggests a larger number

)

Due to the vertical dark stripes, it seems thats mainly a problem with the left Pancam and L7 filter. It would be better to stitch with R1 - But first I have to upgrade my computer's RAM (I guess a.t.m. thats the main solution to reduce my stitching and processing time). The pan above took circa 3,5 hours of stitching. Nico, you're right, it must be this one. -------------------- Peter MER filename decoding into local true solar time - MSL clock and filename decoding

Should be rather exact: (5,07 MB) http://www.greuti.ch/spirit/spirit_everest_sol620-622deg.jpg It's now possible to show the truth about the crater right of Castril (its wide appears ~3 degrees from the true summit (in the pan graticule)). I measure in the map above ~27km distance and ~1700m wide for this crater. -------------------- Peter MER filename decoding into local true solar time - MSL clock and filename decoding

A great pan, Tman! I have cropped it here and made just the horizon part into a polar projection, to make it easier, possibly, to compare with orbital images.

Incidentally, this version shows very well that the hills to the north are really two separate hills - Clark and Chawla - not just one as it seemed from lower down.

What recently cross my mind is that we definitively can look at Gusev's northernmost rim part. -------------------- Peter MER filename decoding into local true solar time - MSL clock and filename decoding

Great to see the sky clear up to give us this awesome view of Gusev's rim. Happy happy, joy joy -------------------- http://www.marsgeo.com/
