Time for a new tread.
Bottomless Bay is on sight on these fresh sol 1016 pics! http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...cam/2006-12-02/ Edited: Added this quick & dirty mosaic.

Opps, you beat me with the panorama.
BTW, has Cape B1 an official name? |

I'm sure it does, but I don't think we know it yet. A sequence name on the tracking site will probably tell us in the next day or so (unless and insider wants to chip in

Here is the next cape, with shadows brightened a bit so see what lies in them. Not very exciting yet - pancams will be better.

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Dec 3 2006, 07:04 PM) I'm sure it does, Well I was wrong, SS said in his Planetary Soc. interview that it hadn't been named and in the tracking site schedule for tosol (1019) lists the observation as just: CODE 01019 p2436.08 12 0 0 12 1 25 pancam_bottomless_bay_ne_L257R2

The views keep getting better. Thanks James. Again, we're seeing very clear striation on these wind scoured rock faces. They are also incredibly smooth, like they've been sandblasted over eons by a very steady and patient wind.

Given the planned sequences for sol 1019 I initially thought it was driving day. It wasn't.
