Some nice tracks in the dust on the o-tray, not sure if these are related to deck vibrations and gravity that induced the larger grains to move downslope on the tray, but it feels more likely than wind induced. Sol 2082 L-Mastcam.

Lovely processing on the Selfie's guys ....
Curiosity had a tiny nudge away from Duluth on Sol 2084. I'd estimate it at just a few millimeters, so probably not a bump to reposition, more likely a halted drive? The weekend mission update did not get issued, so I'm not sure what was planned.

Is that Mt Sharp hidden in the fog / dust in the background?

My version of the "Dust Storm Selfie". I added the Sun, because -even very softs- there is shadow, and then, the Sun visible in the sky. Visible but very fuzzy, filtered by the abundance of dust in the sky.

QUOTE (Don1 @ Jun 18 2018, 07:46 AM)  Is that Mt Sharp hidden in the fog / dust in the background? No, if you're talking about the 2082 MH mosaic (thanks, guys, for the great jobs on that!). The horizon visible there (behind the mast) is northish. But the Gale rim is almost invisible, which tells you how bad the dust is. |

Great job Sean and Damia! Here is my take.
Just one thing I noticed Damia: since the horizon visible on this self-portrait is northish, the Sun is on the opposite way of the portrait. So your added Sun, despite really artistic, is not physically correct. By the way, really a nice rendering!

Thanks Thomas
Actually, the Sun is in the correct place, because in the panoramic, you have the nadir point, and the whole view is covering more than 180° (it's about 200-200°). And the Sun is near the zenith, visible because of the projection used here (sterographic). -------------------- |

Ok Damia, I missed that point. So your Sun is right then!
