I agree with that crater location. And it was only a small move, 3 m or so.

Hi Bill,
Here is a Phil-O-Vision (10x stretch, vertical only) of that navcam 3618? I don't know how to obtain azimuths from the pictures (some here do I think) If I had a bearing we could consult a HiRise image for possibilities First Guess:: it looks like a rock. It is as dark if not darker that the surrounding 'horizon stuff', a more distant object could be lighter than the horizon material since there is more atmosphere and dust to see through. cheers -------------------- CLA CLL

I don't know if we can see out across the plains yet but if so there is a candidate small crater in that general direction that is quite prominent. I gave it the nickname Rockaway when we first saw it. It does look darker than its distance suggests.

Some crazy-looking "raked" or washboard terrain from pre-drive 3621:
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...5M1.JPG?sol3621 I assume we're just seeing lots of fine ripples perpendicular to the line of sight. The ripples are hardly visible in the corresponding navcam: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P0673R0M1.JPG That's the same nameless 5-10 metre crater we've been eyeing for some time now. |

And now we're almost at 90% dust factor!

Very impressive!
As visible from following plots, in the last 5 years dust factor never went above 79.5% (record set on Sol 2313 or July 27, 2010): -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
