What are Oppy's chances of getting a "cleaning event" as it advances up the hillside at Cape York? Do we know anything about the wind patterns around Endeavour?

Circular version of mhowards's anaglyph... I find that one problem with using the anaglyph like this is that the seam where the end meet (south in these views) is messed up a bit, where it would not be with a normal panorama. But it's not too bad.

Small hill on the horizon due west - it's Pathfinder Mound.

Neat, Phil. I suspected that the bump to the due west was Pathfinder Mound, but I am puzzled by the similar bump to the NW (about N45W). My older Route Maps are archived away but the one "large scale" reference shows just a very eroded crater there, or possibly a small ridge along that azmuth. Most of my good HiRISE maps are near the travserse path for use as context.

At any rate, this is, I believe, our first "lookback" towards the Meridiani highland since we arrived at CY.

I guess I'll go back to posting left, right and anaglyph for the Navcam panoramas, unless I get complaints about using too much disk space. The tradeoff is you won't get thumbnails.

Mariner 9 (aka "Approach Crater") is on that heading but I'll take this ID with care because it's also twice the distance to Pathfinder Mound.

i am hoping the topography here is more suitable for gusts or vortices to form, at least here more than anywhere since leaving Victoria i would venture to guess, but still just hoping.. you might have missed Stu's interview with one of the flight team (thanks again Stu!) it is highly worth reading..

No telling at this point about that "NW Bump". It lies at the point where the mid-ground horizon on CY intersects with the background horizon on the Meridiani highland, so it may be near or far. We'll be able to tell more in a few days travel as the perspective changes.


The one on the left is Phil's Bump and the one on the right is the Abstruse Bump...

Rereading Stu's latest interview with Scott Maxwell -- after all these years it hadn't been readily apparent that being a rover driver is a bit like "feast or famine". You're either in a constant push to map out, execute and review the results of drives, or you're stuck in purgatory, parked in a winter haven or otherwise staying put while the MER is performing all those *science* activities!

Oppy's tracks nicely framed today, with the drop-off to the crater showing up in 3D:

Here's a my3D stereo pair of the Pancam foreground on sol 2755, and a couple extras.

nice stereo pairs! (above and in recent posts), unfortunately for me they would have to be reversed to be viewable using the cross-eye method, so im not sure how to view these without any incidental accoutrements. anyone have suggestions?

There is the low-tech method of bringing up two copies of the image, side-by-side, in two browser windows. These can be aligned in such a way as to facilitate cross-eye viewing. The windows can be resized or scrolled as necessary.

It is a shame that that 3D format has the wrong order for cross-eyed viewing, but that format seems to be designed for use with a simple stereoscope (view-master idea, for those old enough!), so that means parallel rather than cross-eyed.

The two-window idea is simple enough. But I use stereophoto maker (for viewing and creating my anaglyphs). To view these stereo pairs, I just drag into stereophoto maker and hit the "swap left/right" button. This has the advantage that you can easily pan across wide cross-eyed pairs (such as full nav or pancams).
