Right - I'm actually going to go ahead and try and get this thing made. I'm starting to make proper panoramas - a collection of probably a dozen for each rover - which will be submitted to the publishers as a portfolio and proof of concept.
However - for the best chance of being published - I need to know what people want - so.....ermm..whadda you want I'm not going to do any 3d images. red-blue glasses just are NOT coffee table material - and as these rovers dont have Green+Blue in the right eye - it's not easy to make colour anaglyphs But - I am going to do several mosaics - and a few individual images - but 99% pancam. Do you think I should use Navcam as well? What about Hazcam? What sort of text descriptor would you like for each image - perhaps a diary type format - or collate all the text at the back as a sol-by-sol account. Do you want MOC images showing routes and image location and direction? etc.etc.etc. Any and all ideas much appreciated - as they give me more idea of what will be acceptable when I come to present to a Publisher. I will initially be approaching Random House - whos inprint Jonathan Cape published 'Full Moon' here in the UK. If I have no luck there - I'll go to National Geogrpahic - who published a similar book called 'Orbit'. I'll keep you all posted Doug |

Superb idea & initiative Doug ...
Where are You for the moment with this ? As Bill proposed, a short introduction about mapping & imaging the planet Mars would be great! I would be glad to help You out with the texts for this as I already wrote some articles on mapping the planet Mars and its moons Phobos & Deimos Just send me a message |
