Is this clouds, or a continuation of the N Polar dust activity mentioned here?

If anyone can do it, I think a vertical projection of the imagery would be helpful. I posted a vertical projection of James's Peter Pan a while back: Vertical Peter Pan |

Cool movies......
From the looks of it these clouds are heading to the north (the SSI was pointed towards the south horizon). And the winds seem to be picking up too (is this another sign of the weather changing?) ..... martian Gustav hurricane perhaps? -------------------- |

Thanks Stu
What's the exact meaning of "The camera pointing was..."? Does this correspond to the actual elevation (notional horizon) and azimuth degrees seen from the same point as the camera? To cut a long story short: In consideration of raw images and probably also some small deformations in that huge mosaic, in PhotoShop, I took the given elev. and azimuth of that sunrise image lg_24930 (el. 5.03164 / az. 13.2373 / FOV 13.8x13.8) and get el. 1.27 and az. 11.87 degrees for the sun in the Peter Pan full res. mosaic. Additionally I made a test with two raw images at az. 280 and 154 degrees and get a dislocation in the azimuth of about 0.1 and 0.5 degrees. -------------------- |

Oh, wonderful! I wonder if the team ever considered that the tell-tale imagery could also capture clouds moving in the background, so a relationship between those macro-movements and the tell-tale micro-movements could be inferred? |

Thanks, 1101001. Somehow, I had managed to miss that information. jekbradbury: I saw your projection when you originally posted it, but apparently I forgot about that. Is there some way we could get a higher resolution version of that vertical projection? Yep, James Sorenson, Oersted, and peter59. The rushing clouds behind the swinging telltale really brings Mars home for me. edited to add an attribution I had missed... -------------------- ...Tom

Is there some way we could get a higher resolution version of that vertical projection? Here is a 4Kx4K version of the same image. |
