It looks like they had some problems with stitching or something. Note these two: February 25 program 4 image 8Z Larger February 26 program 5 image 12Z Larger Same approx. area, one has a folded landscape on the left, the other has an old crater...right hand side appears to be the same though. I don't know if there's a way to find out where this area is to compare it to MOC images... -------------------- Eric P / MizarKey

So all of the defects might be artefacts of film development. The strange thing is flying a image scanner to Mars and use it on onboard film prints and not to image the planet itself! -------------------- _______________________ www.astrosurf.com/nunes

Would it be that the scanning process was just too slow relative to spacecraft motion, whereas film gave an instantaneous image?
