It was far enough to change the view of the rock from that of your sol59 to your sol86 images.

Though you are right. I was misled by distortion on a Chem cam shot from for changes of the plane of a stone.

P.S. Anaglifs for sol 88, 86-90 (large size 1,8 mb) and chem cam image for sol 91

small 3x1 (maybe partial) Sol 87 pan:

I did enhance contrast so the colors might be off.
Same region was shooted at Sol 64 but with other lighting.

The brighter pixels would be hot pixels. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

QUOTE @marstimrdad: sol 92 rover wakeup song: "Running Down the Dream"-Tom Petty-it's a runout sol...- #MSL @MarsCuriosity @tweetsoutloud @elakdawalla: Now that @MarsCuriosity mission is on Earth time, some sols have to be planned 2 days in advance. Sol 92 is one of those, a "runout sol." @nivnac: @elakdawalla Do you mean "Restricted sol" or is 92 really a runout? @elakdawalla: @nivnac .@marstimrdad called it a "Runout sol" but I think you're right "restricted sol" is what was meant. But now I'm not sure. @earthrover_sw: @nivnac @elakdawalla It turned out to be both due to a minor problem discovered that caused us to not send commands (thus a runout sol) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I didn't recognize any constellation, and also, on each frame, this bright spots appear to be at the exact same place. so it's an artifact of the sensor. -------------------- Marsrovers Images • db-prods.net • Follow me on Twitter

You can easily see that this is a daylight image by checking Joe's msl image site. That shows the image was taken at 15:30 local time.

Here is the same area imaged on Sol 71 in false color L632 (same as MER R721), contrast enhanced.

And the MR image, in R312 (similar to MER 257) again contrast enhanced.
