I like to view the horizon.


Me too. It sure is good to see cleaner versions of these images. Here's one of my favourite views:

And in this view I thought there was detail visible on the distant hills from the jpegs. Now there's no doubt that those details are real:

Sol 2 mosaic - Just R A,B,C - very red. I think I prefer R ABC x R1.

Wow, that is red. I think it has to do with the fact the data is linear, not gamma-corrected for computer screens. It looks less garish with a correction, but could still probably be tweaked to fudge filter bandpasses better into sRGB colorspace:

At least the color chips look OK!
The RB filter is furthest from the sRGB colorspace so mixing a bit of red into it gives this (80% green, 20% red):

Looks a bit better, doesn't it?

What a treat! My jaw drops all over again. Thanks to all for sharing your work and comments on the images. It really helps me get a feel for what it would look like for a person standing there on Mars.

And the Sol 30 Solstice image - not best pleased with colour on this one. I'll leave processing the full peter-pan to James wink.gif

This is fun.

To answer an earlier question, the phxssi_0xxx should be raw DN, uncorrected for anything other than decommutation (not packets, not compressed anymore). The phxssi_1xxx is processed using JPL's version of the pre-landing calibration. The phxsci_0xxx should be the best for all cameras. The difference for SSI should be relatively small (better bias correction, better flat field, different smear removal for certain binned images). Ironically, half my software choked on the data for this release, but is mostly back up. So if there are cases where phxssi_1xxx is better than phxsci_0xxx, I'd appreciate examples.

Personally, I like the ones where the filter color-space is mapped to sRGB, rather than straight substitution. YMMV.

Cheers.

These distant hills fascinated me. I tried to identify them on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images. I'm not sure if my identification is correct. What do you think?

I thought those hills correspond to the Heimdell crater passed by Phoenix during EDL phase. Now I'm not so sure!

BTW all of Phx's data is now available. Now its time to play around with the OM pics smile.gif

Now I have no doubt as to the identification of the image PSP_006996_2480.

Other photo (PSP_007642_2480) taken in early spring or late autumn presents the hill with frost in the bottom of the slope.

I regret that Phoenix could not be active at a time when frost appears.

Peter, your identification agrees with that of Phil Stooke, and that's good enough for me! (Those two hills are labelled A and B in Phil's map.)

We can see a bit of the outskirts of Heimdall crater rising up towards the NE.
