I've only done a cursory scan through this latest release, but I have to say that the lower part of PSP_001388_1565 ("Delta in Crater South of Parana Basin") is a good example of how HiRISE can document the distribution of small impact craters. I am impressed at the clarity of even the preview "browse" resolution! And in this image is another good example, though I must say I don't understand how someone as bright as Sir Arthur C. ever thought dunes in channels were "glass tubes/worms." -------------------- Lyford Rome

Oh, a little company in the UK - heard lots of impressive things about them - Vivaciti...a business bundle with good upload and low contention - But for the purposes of this thread - yes - they are HiSP

AAAARRRGHHHH!!!!
Even more gigabytes of stuff I want to download and due to a network outage that started 4 days ago I'm very lucky to get a download speed of 5 KB/s, it's usually much worse (1-2 KB/s or less). Worse yet, this now seems likely to last into the beginning of January!! I'm currently downloading the Phoenix landing animation and downloading 40 MB has taken several hours . $%#&@#{*^@°$$$%!@# And this also happened last year on the *exact* day the first batch of Cassini images was released at the PDS and lasted for several days (sorry for this rant, I just had to vent my frustration somewhere). I'm seriously considering switching to a different ISP but this is a huge problem because switching to a completely new email address isn't very fun (exception: less spam). BTW what *is* the download speed you are seeing when downloading HiRISE images? My impression is that it's sometimes rather slow (with "rather slow" meaning at least 10 times faster than what I'm currently getting). |

Here's a 100% hicrop from the gullies images -first one in the row of release #5 Nico Thanks for that Nico; I was starting to worry that all I'd got in my cracker was a nasty, nostril-pinching plastic moustache and one of those red plastic film "truth fishes" that curl up in your hand... -------------------- |

I have a broadband Cable modem with 10Mbits/sec download and 200Kbits/sec upload
a 1 GByte file loads between 300KBytes/sec and 800KBytes/sec depending on 'mysterious internet loads' That means I get a 1GByte file down in 15 to 30 minutes (the connection is very bursty - it can zoom up to 1.1MBytes/sec download for a few secs to 20 secs) The cable is reliable (Comcast); one outage that I recall of less than 2 hours in the last 4 yrs (if its out while I am at work or sleeping -- does it count?) -------------------- CLA CLL

Hi, Ya'all, as they say around here.
Ditto, dvandorn. I finally managed to get a copy of the 1.2 gig Gusev image, and now this. Does anyone have some crops to share with those of us damned to dialup? -------------------- ...Tom

As another soul stuck at the wrong end of the telescope can I add a cropped detail request for that conspicuous little white patch on 001380_2520? (with scale bar if possible)

That's the one, thanks Nico. I can see now that it lies in a shallow basin. It does look very pristine, doesn't it? Probably nothing unusual, but striking in it's lonely isolation.

You're welcome ngunn, I've replaced it for a version with scalebar included. I immediately noticed the 'lonely' patch too, it's one of the first images from that batch I took in.

The "snow patch" is also surrounded by a greater density of boulders than seems to be the norm here. I was wondering if they are ejecta from a little crater which the snow patch occupies, a crater which has been deformed by the polygon-forming processes which dominate this landscpe
