Wild!
 Amazed by the fact that the LEDs provided enough illumination inside the shell for the shot!

I think you can see the bio barrier in the background at the bottom - so it might make a bit more sense rotate 180 degrees with the bio barrier at the 'top' and thus what would be the deck at the bottom...maybe
 Very nice sharp picture though - bodes well for surface ops.Doug |

Hmmmmmm......
I went to the http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/rac_image.php site and scrolling down, I see two versions of "the" scoop image. One is red colored and one is green colored. The green one has two diagonal dark bands to the left and right of the scoop that are not visible as dark bands in the red one. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... Looks like a 2-color red/green pair to me.

Yay - first photoshopping from Phoenix
I had a hack at fudging a blue and then rotated 180 degrees because I think the Bio Barrier should be at the top to make a bit more sense on the lander deck. GREAT find Ed.Dog

I'm suspecting those diagonal stripes are a <relatively> red band, perhaps on the stitching, of that folded stuff that looks sort of like airbag but is probably part of the biocover on the arm.
Can see more of the "red" bands with your better color balance. |

Yeah - I think it's some of that thermal tape covering the seams on the bio barrier

Sort of. Although it opens all down one side. You can see it flip open in the Phoenix animation - in all those shots it's already open- I think the middle of those three shots is the arm its current config just about.

It seems we have a fellow photoshopper on the Phoenix team. On Patrick Woida's latest blog entry on the Phoenix website he's scooped us by producing the first colour image using red green AND blue images.
