It's a little late for this but :
Sol 57 mosaics : The link is going to my new galery of Curiosity image, totally remade, with a timeline of the events, classified by sols, and each picture is horodated, with a minute precision. I hope you will like it . This give the feeling of the time, I think. -------------------- |

Damien's (Ant103) much better at seamless stitching of Navcam mosaics than I, but I just had to see this one ASAP.... so here's a quickly stitched anaglyph of the Sol 60 Navcam panorama. Gives a pretty good impression of the lay of things around MSL today. Phil's "sea lions" can be seen in this one too just above and to the right of the RUHF antenna. I'm fascinated by the long "petrified tree" looking formation on the ground in front of them. You can see it even better in the Sol 54 MC100 mosaic. What the heck is that? It looks for all intents and purposes like a fallen log...very strait, very long, and even looks very round...hmmm. Here's a closer look at it.

MAHLI took a shot of the left middle and back wheels after inspecting the undisturbed ripple.
MAHLI sol 60 image Lots of small dents and scratches. Just caught scott's tweet saying the image above was to check if the mid wheel had been raised which would have made scooping an unstable process. -------------------- |

That is certainly worth staring at. Trying to place the terrain from the orbital images with the panorama view. I have no trouble identifying "rocky point" - particularly if I look at the crater rim in the background. That gives me an additional check! Those 360 panoramas are handy orientation devices. However: In the North East direction, there is a somewhat circular depression that is possibly a crater or perhaps a deeply eroded basin in Glenelg. I can't really place it with the overhead view. A lot would depend on it's distance from MSL. Trying to tempt some Pano/orbilal comparisons. With the MERS we had programs that allowed distance information to be recovered from NAVCAM images, but I haven't used then for years and anyway the cameras are different. ~ North East Cropped section of Ed Truthan's Pano: edit corrected direction |

For referring to features in panoramas a few informal landmark names can be useful. We already have Rocky Point. Some of us probably have our own private names for things (or is it just me?). Here's one I'd like to share. For me there's only one possible name for the hill at the leftmost visible extremity of Mt Sharp. It's Dumgoyne: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http...BA&dur=3713

If this is the overhead view of Dumgoyne it should remain in view in the N.E. for some time. I couldn't find a good 2D horizontal view of Dumgoyne so I just marked it on my crop of EdTruthan's anaglyph. |

Better for stitching panoramic, I don't know I think I'm always like a noob at made it.

It shows up rather well on this crop from Stu: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=28283 EDIT: Here's another view of the Scottish version showing the "crater rim" beyond: http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/48/...38_bd117844.jpg And back to Mars: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/ms...0000E1_DXXX.jpg |
