Really nice work James ! I didn't expect the solar panels to be so clean.

A long-awaited moment (by me at least) - Cape Tribulation viewed over the top of Murray Ridge:

Long awaited by me as well. I'm looking out for another glimpse of the Miyamoto 'Mule Ears' off to the SSW. They were not visible in navcams before but we're a bit closer now. There are some camdidate bumps among the noise but nothinjg more so far. I'm hoping that the planned panorama from the local summit will be a full 360 and not just the view into the crater.

Yay! I was hoping that this drive would finally reveal it and there it is. Nice to see where we're going.

Just wondering if any of our mapping gurus (Tesh, Phil etc) would be able to point to places on the horizon that would be headings for craters like Santa Maria, Victoria etc?
Not expecting them to be visible, just interested in directions. |

Opportunity Update - sols 3622-3629, April 02, 2014-April 09, 2014: Getting in Place for a Better View of 'Endeavour Crater'
QUOTE On Sol 3628 (April 8, 2014), the rover drove about 69 feet (21 meters) to the south in an approach to a local ridge top, a vantage point that offers a view with an entire sweep of Endeavour Crater. Once there, the plan is to collect a spectacular color panorama of Endeavour. |

Great view, Damia - here's a stretched perspective view of it to make it easier to identify things.
