Some action on sol 284 - make your favourite laser sounds!
(That's three frames - before, during, and after. You can see the little scar when it jumps back to frame 1 after frame 3.) |

QUOTE (PaulH51 @ May 23 2013, 04:00 AM)  ...The crater size could also be a result of more laser strikes on each target... (Sorry for delay, investigation took some time.) Here a well-documented processed Sol 72 ChemCam image of Schmutz2 from the PDS. That hole was the result of a 3x3 raster with 10 laser shots at each raster point. (Metadata in file msl_ccam_obs.csv in this PDS subdirectory.) May be the ChemCam shots on the Cumberland drill tailings were carried out in a similar way. |

Really nice - thanks for doing these GIFs.

Many people have been working together to make it possible, most of them in the background.

High probability that that could be the reason, I am sure there would be much to learn from the different results from the surface and those at depth. Maybe they will target the inner wall of the hole again? So all we have to do is await the future PDS release of the data to confirm if they did cluster tests here at Cumberland

... Sample on observation tray on Sol 284
 (link to gif) Paul, you already pointed to on FB and ChemCam focussing to the horizon on Sol 285:  (link to gif). They were really busy this week! And SAM analysis is also running. |

QUOTE (Gerald @ May 26 2013, 05:37 PM) .....ChemCam focusing to the horizon on Sol 285..... Not sure if that is a first? But it is certainly the first time I have noted them using ChemCam in that fashion... I thought we might have been observing a sunset, but that appears to be ruled out by the time-stamps on the images, maybe a lens effect? |

The really exciting thing for me is, that this series of ChemCam images can be used for focus stacking.
Here my first try:  Link to 1024x1024 JPG (57kB). (Edit: exchanged URL) |
