Indian, I was doing my Sol958 stitch then I discovered your incredible pano, no need to post other!
 I'm amazed by the pseudo-polar, is very similar to what I obtain with PovRay but I suspect you're using your personal projection SW...

"herpetomorphic pseudoquadripedal feature " aka L!z@rd.
We love it, nprev! You're some words-fellah indeed. Let's hope we get a chnace to see it up close. I think it IS real, it IS green and it IS very interesting. Kenny |

...I aim to please! Shows at 5, 7, and 10, two drink minimum... Hmm. Not to belabor discussion of the HPF, but are there any true indications of a compositional difference between it and its "host" rock at this point? I completely admit my ignorance of the capabilities of deriving that from optical imagery alone, much less those of the MER camera systems and/or post-processing. CosmicRocker, the thought of finding exotic native minerals or raw elements on Mars fascinates me as well, esp. hydrated silicates. Imagine Oppy finding a big, fat tourmaline log poking out of the side of Victoria, or a massive gold nugget...too cool!

Thanks, Alan!
Hmm. Well, I hate to say it, but it looks like the HPF might just be a veneer of dark dust on that rock that's been flowing down on its host rock from that dark dune just up the chute. Oh, well...still neat! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (alan @ Oct 5 2006, 12:54 AM) Pancam site now has color versions of Cape Verde and Cape Frio posted http://marswatch.astro.cornell.edu/pancam_...alse_color.html Thanks Alan. Now I can make this "definitive" Capo Verde stitch starting from uncompressed pictures!
with the bightened HPF
(enlarging this last sharpened picture, however, I suspect there is some dithering in the original TIFF pictures...). Anyway, I do not if someone already highlighted this (or could be obvius to others) but only now I realized that the stratified layer at the base of Capo Verde could be the same omnipresent white horizontal layer we see in the distance over the far rim!

Ah, now thanks to alan and dilo et al the Lizard isn't green any more, but it still has a heckuva scaley back... the shadow cast by the sub-herpeto block on the scree slope below clearly shows the extent of dislocation of the block from the rock face behind. It is really sticking out towards the camera

The subframe full filter set of Cabo Frio is down (well 12 filters of it at least)

I know this is probabley a dumb question but, is todays pan cam set of Cabo Frio less compressed than earlier pan cam's of it? I seem to see more detail in the layering.

I don't know the answer to that question, but the very first thing I thought when I saw the raw images up at the exploratorium was that I could see more details in the layers.
I don't know if it is less compressed, or some higher resolution mode, either way.... they sure seem to have finer detail visible. And looking at the Oct 7 Nav Cams it looks like the rover might have moved a couple meters since the last upload on Oct 5. |

Finally some colour filters to make nice pix...!
And hey, Hoagland... you want "Faces on Mars"? This place should keep you busy in blog posts for years. Maybe it's some kind of martian "Mt Rushmore", eh?

Just guessing here: the images are subframe and the sky is outside the frame, that probably had some effect on the degree of stretching they got before they went up, or images taken through the middle filters L4,L5,L6 may have slightly better resolution than the L2 or L7.
