Greetings folks,
ESA recently released map projected version of HSRC images, including orbit 1183 when MEX took a look at Meridiani Planum and Oppy's landing site. Which allows me to present you... the first color image of Victoria! It's created from the HSRC Red, Green, Blue channels which have resolution of 56.2m/pixel. Since it is just simple GIMP color composite, I wouldn't rather trust the colors completely, but still figured you'd like to see it  I also tried the ESA supplied HSRC reader tool and the result was virtually identical, albeit I'm unsure whether one shouldn't apply some transformations. Trying to find some docs on it

The MEX image of Victoria certainly isn't as good as we've seen from the other spacecraft, but is still interesting as the lighting is rather different. It suggest how subdued the ejecta blanket relief really is - and also shows up the wind-scouring toward the upper right rather nicely.
