Yikes - tau is really climbing, up to 1.75 on 3820. Not terribly unusual this time of year. But for the comet observations on 3817 tau was 1.2. Had this jump in dust happened a few sols earlier we may have seen nothing at all of the comet.
I don't recall seeing Endeavour this dusty - the far rim almost disappears in these navcams: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol3820 |

Up to 1.91 on 3822. The latest MSSS weather report says storms were not yet over Meridiani (or Gale), as of 6 days ago.

Re: the view of Endeavour on Post #169 - I continue to enjoy putting myself on Mullholland Drive looking into the San Fernando Valley in Southern California as a frame of reference. It's very smoggy/foggy this time of year:

Description of the events leading to a jump in tau recently from MSSS:
QUOTE The widespread dust-lifting activity raised global atmospheric opacities to annual highs, as recorded by the Opportunity rover in Meridiani and the Curiosity rover in Gale Crater. While Curiosity experienced increased atmospheric opacities, it was largely spared from direct contact with storms. However Opportunity, just off to the east of the Acidalia storm-track, was less fortunate and experienced extremely hazy skies due to its proximity to areas of dust-lifting along the cross-equatorial storm track.
