A bit OT, but this relates to MER matters.

I have some confusion on how to determine the Sun Azimuth from the MOC image data. This seems like it ought to be straightforward, but the "Explanation page" confounds me.

The example:

Image R1500822, map corrected.
North Azimuth= 92.59 deg
Sun Azimuth= 9.51 deg

What should the compass direction of the sun be?

Good, I understand it better now. It will be helpful in interpreting these images to know sun Sun direction since a ripple can become a trough in an eyeblink.

Thanks...
