Lot'sa of new placenames the past few days:

02743 p2410 Sheba
02749 p2414 Onverwacht
02751 p2560. Hooggenoeg
02751 p2561 Tjakastad
02751 p2562 Moodies

--Bill

So, we moved from Canada (Tisdale and co.) to South Africa. smile.gif
A search on the names point to the latter.

On a different matter, we are way after Shoemaker Ridge so I though it would be ok to update the thread name: Cape York - Shoemaker Ridge and the NE traverse
(now, if I just can remember how to do it ...got it!)

Well, CY's about 800 metres long,

Regarding a recent comment from Scott about feeling Endeavour size, CY's = Victoria's.

Here's a pseudo-false-color anaglyph of Onverwacht (sol 2749). Painful, I know. The red-cyan separation of anaglyphs doesn't play well with real (or even false) color, especially with a color scheme which is skewed toward red.

If anyone out there has a iPhone/iPod Touch with a my3D, the latter two images are compatible with that device.

Here's a 90-degree-wide view facing east around sol 2749, showing the context of Onverwacht:

My mind's eye has been pretty set on the view into Endeavour as compared to the view of the San Fernando Valley from Mulholland Dr. smile.gif

To help rover driver Scott (and the rest of us) visualizing the size of Endeavour, I think It could be cool to put some Empire State Buildings or Eiffel Towers into the panoramas of the crater. We need something a little bigger than Mystery Man for those distances! It would be especially interesting to see those buildings giving scale to Tribulation and to the mountains on the other side of the crater. Anyone up for it? smile.gif

Oh, that would be way above my feeble skills... - I defer to the experts!

That's the way I used to think, too, but gave it a go and gradually I've made it to the 'not bad if I say so myself!' level. And
really there's room here for everyone's efforts, and you won't learn unless you try, will you? smile.gif

Very nice. I like the view from the end of Reseda past the golf course. The mountains are too high of course, but the distance to the Santa Susanas above Granada Hills is roughly accurate.

Great idea, but I'd go for a Saturn V.

Most of us have seen either one or the other of the two buildings but very few - I guess - have seen the Saturn V in person. Anyway, any well-known landmark would do perfectly well, maybe it would be even better with even bigger landmarks, small mountains for instance. Or a cruise ship or supertanker standing on its end... smile.gif

True, but I think we'd get used to it. One check against something you knew would do the calibration. I was thinking it would be a nice homage to all those space artists from Chesley Bonestell onward who have portrayed rockets standing on the surface of Mars.
