Cape York just keeps giving and giving, doesn't it?


Looks like "Sharp Edge" on Blencathra/Saddleback

Congratulations on three years, Stu! (And how good it is that the name of your blog has become obsolete! )

Another crazy piece of Saddleback in 3D:

[PDP8E]

Here is a recent image (Sol2794) off the back deck.
L257 combo comes off as hard red and hard blue.

( congrats Stu on 3 years of RtoE ! Here's to 3 more )

Wow... I hadn't made that connection, which is a bit embarrassing seeing as I don't live *that* far from Blencathra... well spotted, Sunspot... when you look at the rocks up there they look **very** familiar, don't they?
Could just be a coincidence, haven't checked into it very deeply yet, but if they have named this martian feature after the Cumbrian fell Blencathra, maybe one of the rover team has been walking in the Lakes at some point, that would be great to know!
(More Blencathra info and pics here: http://www.stridingedge.net/wainwright%20f.../Blencathra.htm )

I'll check on that this week... got a couple of tactical shifts where I can bug the science team.

Here's my attempt at de-headaching that view:

Oh wow - 3D's normally don't work for me, but either my eyes are getting better, or you are getting better - That came out quite breath taking. Thanks.

Oh wow - 3D's

Stereo really does help. Apart from the depth perception, it is the brain's way of doing a form of "super-resolution" by combining the information from two sources. Even with the pancam's far-sighted focus, one can see some detail in this near-field image. The colored part is a crop from PDP8's image in post 123.

After the 2795 drive, we've got a northish tilt of roughly 17 degrees:

That's because that frame is looking roughly west, and I've assumed the straight western horizon is level.

I bet the mission geologists wish Santa would just drop them off here for Christmas...

Very nice work Jan. Thank you for your panoramas.

Outcrop "Boesmanskop", L257, Sol-2795.

Added an R731 image so you can roll your own stereo pair of whatever flavor you wish.

Beautiful site, many questions.

Another, hopefully de-headached, anaglyph of Saddleback, this time using the sharp L7/R1 pair:

Colour view of "Boesmanskop"...



("Boesmanskop" = a South African mountain... http://www.mountainsmounts.com/mountain/42126/boesmanskop )

Wow... dusty deck...

[john_s]

Alas for Blencathra fans (including me), "Saddleback" is also a mountain in South Africa. Though I suppose if the next target is named "Glaramara", we'll have to reconsider what naming scheme is being used...
