Something tells me this won't be the last low-sun panorama Spirit takes this winter. Next we should get a look at sunrise, though McCool Hill may cast a shadow over the scene. Some real clouds over Husband Hill would also be superb.
How prescient of JPL to send Oppy to do its wonderful crater science, while giving us the Spirit of Exploration among the scenic wonders of the Columbia Hills. May all its future Martian study sites be as inspired!

It's a stunning image, for sure.
But if you ask me what is my favourite picture from a MER, then it surely is the first big color composite picture from Spirit when it still was on lander. I set that image as a wallpaper at work on a 21" monitor. That high res picture really created an intense impression, that the screen is just a window to Mars and that I really can reach through it and touch the rocks on the surface. I remember the sense of awe when I looked at this pic. Borek |

dilo, aldo: awsome, phantastic work !!
For the last couple of weeks I have been only occasionally checking the Opportunity board ( waiting for for new images of Victoria.) thought that we wouldn't see many new images from the "winter-parked" Spirit ... But little did I know what phantastic new images I was mising here in the Spirit board  hats off and Kudos for your great panoramas & colorizations ...  hopefully I too will find the time again to do some more image processing work which I had to neglect recently because of other obligations (job, etc.) |

Dilo & Aldo,
Incredible job! One of the best panoramas ever worked.  Astro0, I'm looking forward your SFX version with Spirit on the foreground and it's looong shadow. |

Gosh, that really is rather good. I'm afraid the colour printer at work is going to be ticking up a few unauthorised copies tomorrow! -------------------- --

Unfortunately, most of Spirit's traverse since leaving the summit of Husband Hill is obscured by near-field topography.
