The puzzle about the slippage has been resolved by Ken Herkenhoff's recent post:
QUOTE The Sol 709 drive was not as long as planned because the minimum 2 meters of progress out of 4.5 meters commanded was not achieved. This software check may be disabled for future drives across sandy material, to allow more slippage before the rover stops driving. So the criteria in this case seems to have been the overall progress in contrast to a short-term excessive slippage. |

Have we seen flatfielded images on the jpl jpeg site before?

Those images are not flat-fielded. But I do see possible sky-flats that can be turned into rough flat-fields
 . Those type of images appear like all others on the raw page. You will not see of coarse calibrated images that have been flat-fielded. Those have to wait until they hit the PDS.

Compare these two images:
  It's clear the second one is a flatfielded version of the first. The filenames differ only in the text codes (EDR vs PRC and M_ vs L1). The paths are also different. I don't recall anything like this before. Either a glitch or a new policy (hopefully the latter!). |

Oh wow! I didn't scroll down far enough to see that! You are right, those have been flat-fielded in the enhanced section.
That is interesting! |

QUOTE (algorithm @ Jul 29 2014, 08:53 PM) Is driving straight down the middle the only route? What about tip-toeing around the edge It looks like driving along the edges is indeed the plan acording to this release: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/vi...index.cfm?v=209 |

QUOTE (Gerald @ Aug 6 2014, 03:02 PM) in PNG format Yeah - there was a good argument to be made for providing flatfielded images, since this camera suffers from such severe vignetting and typically clipping near the centre in the jpl jpegs. But png is icing on the cake! |
