> Would ne nice to test the new software and try to get to the Dock for the week-end.
That was exactly what I thought while waiting for the "drive-direction" pancam images. It would be a 30-40m drive, perhaps too much to be exactly at a nice rock in a single drive for IDD work except if using "go & touch". But it seems to be out of the plans. This is tosol pancam mosaic; the focus is on Cape Desire, meaning that they are planning to drive on that direction tomorrow sol: BTW, the panorama is a blast! What a view! > Did you note this darker ("wet") part in front of us? Yup. It might be dark sand accumulated there in a similar fashion as Eldorado. |

Very impressive images there. You're very nice
This my own version of Cape Desire : I can't waiting anymore for the complete imagery set... -------------------- |

Couldn't it be done anyway if you viewed the result with the glasses reversed? I did try this once (for a normal anaglyph as most of the blue/green filters are on the left pancam) but for some reason the result wasn't very satisfactory. Maybe I'll have another go with this. -------------------- |

Stu, how is it possible ? Looking in the direction of the sun and see the shadow of the cam in front of you. jvandriel sigh... well, obviously the Sun is at the top there, and the sunlight is reflecting off Beacon behind Oppy, casting its shadow onto the ground... (Can't believe I missed that... stoopid stoopid stoopid!!! blame it on a ten hr shift at work...! ) Better? -------------------- |

I see now that I was getting confused. I was thinking the about the 1058 and 1060 positions as being the long baseline positions not 1060/1, so colour should be possible with the glasses the right way around. Greyscale for now though...
The baseline is very long, it works well for C1/2 (Hoy) area: But takes quite a bit of distortion to get Cape Desire viewable: James -------------------- |

I keep wanting to use some of these beautiful Victoria pics as my Windows Desktop, but I never see anything that's 1600x1200. Are the actual Rover images smaller than that?

Well all the raw images are 1024x1024 but the pans can be huge. For example my version of the Cape Verde pan (the biggest at Victoria so far) is 17039x3000. I'm sure you could resize and crop a whole load of stunning 1600x1200 images out of the mosaics produced so far.

But takes quite a bit of distortion to get Cape Desire viewable: Well, I must have a mind that is quite a bit distorted. That one popped right into view for me, and it was amazing. I compared it side-by-side with the standard short baseline stereo. The vertical exaggeration (for lack of a better term), really added a tactile dimension to that outcrop. I felt as if I could reach in and gauge the depth of erosion between the laminations with my fingernails, or reach into a crevice, feeling for a loose fossil.Thanks. -------------------- ...Tom

Well, I must have a mind that is quite a bit distorted. That one popped right into view for me, and it was amazing. I probably should have been clearer. What I meant was *I* had to distort the images quite a bit to make a working anaglyph, removing the need for all of you lot to distort your minds too much. Glad you enjoyed it.

Now I'm confused. Wasn't the images for the long baseline those from the positions as of sols 1058 and 1060? Perhaps the confusion is because they were actually taken on sols 1060 and 1061 but *before* driving? ----------- On a different topic, tosol activities (1062) seems to be devoted to pancam imaging only. I won't expect another move until sunday/monday (sols 1064/1065). |

Can't find any at the exploratorium or the pancam web.
Anyway, it's not the first time. Don't panic. |
