This is something I've had in mind for a long time and I uploaded the first part of it just now.

The way lighting conditions change on Mars got me thinking about a way to visualize it through some horizon-row pans, as most of the difference is in the sky/near the horizon.
While these are not scientifically perfect works regarding true color, the way Mars appears on different times should be apparent from these pans in the color and false-color pans.

I use pano2qtvr for PTgui panosoftware which is a basic converter doing a great job.

Ant103, thanks, as for the 0°-90° (3/4-row pans) in qtvr, mail me if you'd like any of the full Nasa/JPL pans in qtvr.
I've been doing a lot of the official panos in qtvr and lately also the anaglyph navcam panoramas they've produced. They rock!

My full 360's are a SLOW work in progress since I'm trying to minimize the geometrical stitching errors in PTgui. Less final correction in PS on the individual layers means any pan I do can easily and rapidly be redone using other color/false-color/any single filter frames of the same sol/imaging sequence.
(by the 'replace' function in PTgui.)
So if I develop some skills one day into scientific true-color approach myself I can rerun any of the pans for online release or posters..I'd really like to get into printing one day. Though that time will come, it just don't need to be too soon, let those cuties drive around just a little bit longer

Are they still people around thinking Martian skies are bright blue? no way.
