Nice Opportunity Pancam & Navcam images down earily (or late) on at Exploratorium. Evidentally came down in same downlink as Spirit images.

Might be that Oppy stayed up to do an AM Odyssey pass to double the downlink.

Cape St. Vincent is too good of a target to pass up. If it is at all possible to get close to it, we should try. If the Valley of Peril (excuse me--Valley Without Peril) won't work, then we need to find another route. My suggested route (in the entry pool) would get the rover close. If we extended it westward just a bit, it could serve as an alternate route that might work. Meanwhile, we still need better cam shots to determine whether this new bay is possible to navigate. If it is, then it would be the shortest route to Cape St. Vincent. It might also allow a good and unique view of the cliffs at St. Mary and other Capes we passed earlier, although not as close.
So despite the apparent danger, it makes sense to investigate a possible route down from here. If they do find a way, then I'll lose the pool. But I won't mind too much, as long as the rover is safe. |

That's like the very first really good view of the cliffs around St. Mary. Incredible!
I'm amazed at the difference of each part of Victoria. North is very different than the South. The West is very different than the East. And now it turns out that the Western part of Victoria is also very different from the both the Northern and Southern parts. I hope the rover can either round these capes to the next one or egress so that we can enter again from a different location. I'd like to see Oppy do it 4 or 5 times, at least. |

That's a cool view indeed - those St Mary cliffs really are incredible. Only one slight problem, Astro - left and right channels are switched!

A series of pancams from sol 1104 are down - these are unusual in that they are L4, L5, L6 ("red, green, blue") - is this the "postcard" we heard was planned?

I know there's a lot of optimism out there, but this does look a bit, um, steep...

Long baseline views of the capes to the west from sols 1106 and 08 now in. This one shows the tip of Cabo Corrientes and a nice 3D look at CSM/beacon and Duck Bay behind:
The next view shows Corrientes, and behind that Cape Desire, and behind that Cabo Anonimo, and finally CSM:
Warning: 3D effect is pretty extreme over this range of distances!
