QUOTE (kenny @ Sep 26 2006, 06:46 AM)  Stu, Wrong planet. Your "Quickie view..." looks like Venus from one of the Soviet Venera landers... That's a joke, right?  I mean, you're not really suggesting I can't tell Mars from Venus...  That was colourised v quickly from yesterday's pancams. Hope there's better today...

Me too. It's 9pm in Sydney now and I'm not expecting any images for a while yet. Could be a late night tonight! I'll take a coffee if your offering.

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Sep 26 2006, 10:59 AM) I'll take a coffee if your offering. No problem. Got some choccie biccies here somewhere too... pass those to akuo would you James? Ta. Sydney sounds gorgeous... I envy you your stunning night sky, with its beautiful Milky Way core overhead, you lucky thing... but can't complain, it's a beautifully sunny day here in Kendal, birthplace or stellar physicist Sir Arthur Eddington, sunlight streaming through the window as I sit here and try again to post something on "Victoria's Innards", only been trying for two days... that thread just doesn't like me at ALL...  While waiting for new images of VC I've been going through my "Endurance" folders, reliving those heady days of gazing at outcrops and ledges there. They were exciting, eh? Wonder if we'll see them repeated inside VC, or if we'll be restricted to looking down at outcrops or at their sides from halfway down ramps... I'd love to see another image of Oppy's shadow cast over the rippled dust dunes too, like we did at Endurance...

I'll try and fill in as usual, although with the downlink time heading into night here I might not be very prompt. QUOTE (Stu @ Sep 26 2006, 09:08 PM) No problem.

Well not tonight, just looked out and we just have the orange glow of city lights reflecting off cloud. But it is stunning sometimes, I don't mind doing the washing up so much when I can see the Southen Cross out the window while doing it.

Half past again, time to get ready if anything appears on Exploratorium. Nothing indicated by the Tracking site, but it has been late before...

While you're waiting, note that even the front hazcam is showing detail of the far rim, and Vicky covers almost the entire horizon even in the fisheye focus!
