A Google search for photon transfer calibration ccd
shows many hits explaining that it is, well, the calibration of the photon transfer (to electrons, i.e. gain) of the CCD. Perhaps now there is time on Spirit to try such new (for the MERs) calibration techniques. Airbag |

Yeah, thanks Airbag, I know just putting the tracking data up wasn't really answering the question but I was busy and knew some fine UMSFer would do the nessesary Googling.
-- I thought I'd join Horton and Ant and put another McMurdo image or two up. Latest L234567 Colour - 58 Pointings (that's 348 images) Latest L7 - 69 pointings. Projected as a full 360 pan centered in the direction not taken yet to show the gap still to be filled - we're getting there - slowly. Enjoy, James -------------------- |

Very nice - can't wait for the stereo views to start! Your wish is my command Bob This is the first anaglyph i've ever attempted so comments for improvement are more than welcome. The right eye pan is also far from perfect, a very preliminary attempt. But at least it *does* seem to work James -------------------- |

Did you see those MI images from yesterday ?

Quick and dirty Polar views. I could have done a better job cleaning up the sky. Thanks to Jvandriel for the original pan. Pictures removed... That picture has shown as a professional photographer. Its view strikes my mind knowing that anybody is above of MER-A. Did you see those MI images from yesterday ? http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/spirit_m861.html Looks like we've got some salty soil there. The whithest ones, are of the sulfates ones. It is very common around the inner basin. Here is a mosaic of Progress after brushing for the third time on Sol 858. Taken with the Mi cam. There is the mark of PI on surface Rodolfo |

A bit off topic but here it goes...
Yesterday I saw the Science Channel documentary about the STS-107 mission based on the 'home videos' Brown has made during the time of their preparation. And seing those people in their daily lifes, listening to their wifes, husbands, brothers, mothers... Man...I was seing the program, a very good one, an image was constantly popping up on my mind, that of the Columbia hills with the names of these human beings. Now, looking around on Mars, will be their faces, jokes, laughs, walks on Wild River, lost in Amsterdam, Clark covered with flowers a la American Beauty, Husband dignity, Chawla' low profile, Brown's weightless coolness, Ramon waking up on the shuttle and telling her wife he loves her...Anderson suspicious with the suspicious brownies, and, above all, McCool's reading his poem from above there to her beloved down here on Earth... Just beautiful and eternal, all of them. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
