Just had to say that this: 1P222914526EFF78PAP2357L2M1 has got to be one of my favorite raw images so far. I hope we get a decent pan from Cape Desire.

I agree James. I'd thought that this is may be the best close view so far of big rocks that felt inside the crater

There are nice tracks for the white rock a little down from the center of the picture.

Not that the mission team need advice but they might like to know that SHOULD THEY DECIDE to proceed to the tip of Cape Desire and take the MOTHER-OF-ALL-PANORAMAS (with sky please) there would be some VERY HAPPY PEOPLE out here, and (no doubt) an image for the history books. I add my voice to James and climber.

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Jan 25 2007, 11:53 AM)  Watch your step, Oppy!!! Nice blur effect on the low-gain antenna. Makes it look like Oppy is fishtailing as it fights a slide to the precipice.

See the light-toned, mushroom-shaped rock on the near slope? Could that be the effect of sand blasting around the lower part of the rock? |

Yikes, is anyone else getting serious flashbacks to Eagle crater?
Sol 1068 navcam, as we drop down onto Cape Desire, and look back up at Guam/the "dock". Sol 53 navcam, inside Eagle crater. |

That's a cool comparison, fredk. What I think is most funny about the comparison is remembering back at Eagle how people were initially calling that outcrop "The Great Wall" -- when here at Victoria, the Dock is barely a lump, and all Opportunity has to do is to turn around to see truly great vertical slopes...

No, please, no!!! We'll keep the cops back, we know you're under incredible stress....
 Interesting vantage point, though. I wonder if she'll tend to track more closely along the rim in order to fully exploit the new steering algorithms (recall the "shuffles" needed to generate guidance datum). -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Here are the equirectangulars from Sol 1068 and 1069 - there may be more Navcams to come down yet

The plan for yestersol (1069) included a couple of MIs - no images downlinked yet; only thumbnails on the PCDT web.
It would be the first time the "go & touch" feature is used. |
