Ah, there we are now, thanks Doug.

A project for Mike or someone - somewhere out there is the map-projected version of the Huygens high altitude mosaic, the one that extends out to the two dark dunes to the north of the landing site. I would love to see that accurately overlain on the latest ISS from T36 (a blink comparison perhaps?) I wonder how many features could be clearly identified in both?

Here is the Huygens altitude mosaic (overlain on the T8 RADAR Swath - PIA06437) in same-size oriented comparison with the T36 mosaic from Ugordan, the T36 enhanced mosaic from Alexton, the T8 Swath zoom (the backgrouond for PIA06437), and the T13 distant targeted look.

Separately:

And all together for a side-by-side comparison (the "spooky dude formation" is indicated in blue for comparison):

It is really, really hard to pick out any fine details from the ISS mosaics shown, although Huygens Island's brightest pixel pattern in the ISS images looks very similar to that of the T8 RADAR brightest pixels.
