Spirit is now almost at the bottom of Inner Basin.

Time to start a new topic.

Here is a 360 degree panoramic view taken with the L0 navcam on Sol 667.

Here is what is down so far

Spirit actually turned westward.
That pancam image is looking east and the descent is from left to right. 

Very funny, thanks Tesheiner. The picture was tilted so it looks just the opposite.

Here a somewhat closer view of the far side of the Inner Basin:

And here is my humble interpretation of an L256 Pancam image of Homeplate on Sol 672:

...
BTW, and back on-topic, I haven't seen more planned shots for that "Seminole" pano on sol 674-675 sequences. So it may end being a 12x3 instead of full 360º.

I must correct myself. Spirit will finish the whole circle tosol (677):

"Seminole" - neat, I hadn't heard that yet. Looks like everything is down now except Sol 677.

[Tesheiner]

More or less; sequence 2265 (sol 676) is not yet complete.
I'm trying to make the panorama in L6 only, but autostitch is giving me a hard day. It simply refuses to stitch these two pics together, regardless of SIFT and RANSAC settings:

And it's time again to exercise the wheels; tosol (678) is driving day.

[jamescanvin]

I'm sure there will be a better one along soon, but anyway.

Now all the images (L6 at least) are down at least partially down I've started to stitch them together as part of my first attempt at a full 360 colour pan . I've attached a quarter resolution version of a stich done primarliy to test the stitching accuracy before running my colouring program (which whould get confused while there are still missing patches) and final blended stitching (which may not even work on my poor PowerBook!). Hence there has been no attempt to match brightness, no AV, infact, nothing, just raw images joined together! May be of interest though, it's quite a view!

Cheers,

James

One very interesting thing is try to explain about the formation of terraces on the north side of Cook Hill.



The terraces might be the results of gradual uphill of terrain or the accumulation of volcanic lava over a period of time.

Here is the complete 360 degree Seminole panorama.

Spirit drove S on sol 678, and is at almost 50m from the "waypoint".

That's quite a view indeed jvandriel!

Your first attempt at 360 sure looks promising.

[Tesheiner]

Spirit drove about 26m south on sol 680 and is almost inbetween "Miami" and "Comanche".
My bet is that Spirit will head to "Comanche".

Unusual linear features seen in these pancam images:

Looks a little like a crack............
