Now you can more easily correlate the features between the MRO picture and the VL1 landscape with a 360° pan I just mosaicked to show you the local horizon without any protruding S/C parts above it...
(Again lots of congratulations, Phil, for having discovered VL1's location long before it was spotted by MRO !)
Enjoy !

Peering through my documentation, I just discovered that, in 1999, Tim pinpointed right the VL1 location just several meters from the one determined by Phil Stooke ! Here is his paper (as a "pdf" file) Enjoy
