I've been struggling all evening, to manipulate the full size version on my poor old computer.

Now it's getting late, so it'll have to wait. In the meantime here is a lower resolution (about 1/4) first draft.

I believe that with this done that is full mission success for SSI. Congrats Mark!

Beautiful! It is amazing to see the full site. I can't wait until the PDS release, when I can go to work on the horizon.

Very nice work James. And this wouldn't look out of place on the cover of a science fiction paperback from 50 years ago!

Well done James (and well done Mark)! This is one of the things we have been waiting for. When we get the full res I'm, probably going to print it on a polymer film and make a real wallpaper out of it for the side wall of my study.

Thanks guys pancam.gif

I don't see why not. This is not the actual complete pan, yet.

"Phoenix camera team leader Mark Lemmon cautioned me that the mission success panorama isn't really quite done.... they plan on filling in the terrain nearest the lander, which includes the robotic arm's workspace".http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001522/

That has got to be the cleanest of all the polar pans we've done around here. I could gaze at that all day.

Stunning job, guys. There's something eerie about that disembodied robotic arm floating there, too. ohmy.gif

A random, meaningless point on some near-featureless, empty, frozen northern plains on an entirely uninhabited planet - which has now become the centre of the universe for a vast, varied team of people. Fantastic!

(It reminds me a little of the Degree Confluence Project - precise locations you'd never give a second glance gaining some strange significance through external factors. This odd little spot on Mars, seemingly identical to its surroundings for many, many kilometres, is now important. And will be photographed, prodded, dissected and analysed, because everywhere is interesting.)

I played around with the hills a bit. Considering the quality of the data, they are remarkably featureless.

Not surprising considering flatfield noise, jpeg compression artifacts and plain dust in the air.

It is just that hills at other landing sites were so much rockier, even in poor quality imaging.
