Thanks Stu. Time and time again your prose takes me there too smile.gif

BTW, if anyone would like the full 16.6mb version which at 100dpi would print out nicely at 168x62 centimetres (or 52cms without the title block), then I'd be happy to email it to you if your inbox can handle the file size. Unfortunately, I just don't have the space on a server to put it online for download. If anyone can host the image, that would be great.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you

I'm not sure it will happen that soon. The dust storm at Meridiani was pretty nasty, with tau being close to double of anything previously seen by Oppy, and power levels were way down. I think things are improving right now though, once Oppy gets past standdown... whew...

>once Oppy gets past standdown.

Pando,

Do you mean that the dust storm has delayed the schedule for entering Victoria discussed in the press conference last week?

TTT

EDIT: Just noticed the news release on the jpl site concerning the delay caused by the dust storm.

By my reckoning that means Tau at around 3.5 leading to power dropping from around 680Whr/sol to 340Whr/sol.

Ouch.

Astro0, I have a suggestion for your image. You should adjust the colors and contrast of Opportunity to match the landscape; i.e. make it redder. As it is, Oppy doesn't fit in at all, and looks like you just pasted it into the image (which you did, but it shouldn't be so obvious). A simple levels adjustment can work wonders.

This is terrible news... I was wondering why they hadn't made any further progress towards entering the crater lately.

Neo56,
The base image was from the Pancam website.
It's the Cape Verde panorama linked here.
The image was cropped and enhanced for the final SFX image.

Yeah, that was close - tau of 3.3, and 402Whr... Looks like Oppy got lucky due to the cleaning events prior to the latest dust storm.
