On Sol 690, Oppy PanCam captured some beautiful images of the rocks, with radent afternoon illumination giving strong relief to stratifications and 3D structure.
Here a stitch:
I already asked to Malgar to make a photoclinometry on this...

Thanks, Airbag. Very nice. I saw those come down and thought, "I should finally try to stack those with Astrostack." It's something I've been meaning to try since the super-res they shot at Burns Cliff. I got busy with other things, as usual, but I did take the time to compare your stacks with the raw individuals, and there is clearly a significant improvement in resolution.
The one thing I don't understand about these things is, why do they always take these sets as subframes? Is it a bandwidth issue, or do they use subframes simply because they are not concerned with the surounding view, or is it something else entirely? -------------------- ...Tom

QUOTE (CosmicRocker @ Jan 19 2006, 12:53 AM) The one thing I don't understand about these things is, why do they always take these sets as subframes?  Thanks CosmicRocker; I use RegiStax v3 myself. I suspect the reason these are subframes is for bandwidth reasons, as you wrote. It is just these rocks they are interested in seeing in more detail, and not the soil in between. It seems to me in this case at least some of these targets were a little too close for the pancam to reach focus, so this might be one way to get a bit more information back. On the other hand, we are using lossy compressed images as a source, so who knows! Airbag |
