Maybe this the best (subjective) compromise... anyway, main purpose of this version is to make more realistic rover color

Sure we will. Humans will walk there some day, along side our robotic, roving heroes. Personally I liked Doug's original colours. I think that it is probably closer to what the human eye would 'see'. I blended Spirit in with the same colouring, that salmon-coloured sky would certainly create some interesting variations in what you would 'see'. I think that everyone's concepts are right, but as Doug said, if you look at the calibrated Pancam images the colour from day-to-day varies wildly. The bottom line is that we are all having fun during this amazing adventure. Astro0
