Allllllmost there. Surely they'll stop at a good viewpoint to take some nice images before the ridge hides the Gale floor from view. I've been poking my friends on the mission to see if they'll get a self-portrait up here -- it's been a year since the last one. Nobody ever commits to actions in the future, of course, so nobody will commit, but I'm hoping.

Nice (banded?) sedimentary bedrock seen in this pair of focus merged MAHLI's from sol 1811. Stitched in MS ICE, then rotated to roughly align with the view in the 1809 workspace mosaic. I've identified the location on a reduced version of the L-MastCam mosaic.
Raw MAHLI images, no additional processing |

After the drive on sol 1812 seemed like a good spot to split the threads; here's the new thread for the top of Vera Rubin Ridge.

What a great view we have here - and the crater rim is clearer than it has been for a long time. This is Jan's panorama in a circular version. We are still very close to the edge of the slope, moving almost parallel to the edge on sol 1812.
