Now yes - while it's fair to say we have arrived at the rim of Vic - the rule were that the 'arrival' date would be the sol at which the rover arrives at the point from which the mother-of-all-pans is taken... so we're not there yet. (i.e. We'll probably take photos when we arrive in Valencia on Sat PM - but personally, I wont feel I've arrived till the following morning when I have a look out the window....and you're right Fred - it's that FIRST big MOAP that is the important one )

But that doesn't mean we can't have a new thread smile.gif

Beautiful pans, Doug! But I think it should be "the first of the mother-of-all-pans"! We'll have dramatically different views from every cape/bay, and I'm sure we'll do many pans from the rim!

Well, someone's making a fortune off what I'm putting in the swear box! biggrin.gif

Like I said yesterday: topography!!! biggrin.gif

I just love that we have to now worry about completely new things that really neither rover has had to before, certainly not to this degree. As we've said already, there's the sun/communications link visibility from near the vicinity of a cliff. With todays images, another one occurs to me: We have to be careful about what time of day we image cliff faces - large areas of Capes Frio and Verde are in deep shadow in these images!

Doug, we need a drool smily!

That would be the mother-in-law-of-all-pans, followed by the maternal- and paternal- grandmother-of-all-pans, followed by the fairy-godmother-of-all-pans... Sofi Crater will probably have to make do with a stepmother-of-all-pans.

What we thought might be 2x2's are obviously going to be those 2 4x1's in L257.... for planning ( i.e. highest res terrain mesh ) the L7/R1's came down first, and if there's another UHF pass today, the 2's and 5's might come down....pretty smile.gif

What wonderful outcrops and active erosional features. I'm all a'quiver with the first views of the Victoria rim and capes and bays. Looking at the surface of Duck Bay it does look passable for an initial toe-dip. I'm almost giddy in anticipation over the first L257's we'll be getting in the next couple of Sols.

From here Cabo Frio looks a doddle and would be my choice for the MOA pans. Cape Verde is probably OK, but has that slope towards the crater. I'd hate for us to slip down there....

Here is just a part of the Victoria panorama.

Taken with the L7 pancam.

It reminds me of the walls of the Grand Canyon.
