Take out the repeats, and it looks fairly normal

I've took the frames that are constituting actually a super-res pan to produce it. The colors are from the same sol.
This was processed with Keiths Image Stacker (align & stacking + Laplacian pyramid sharpen), Gimp (GREYstoration -denoise-, colors), Hugin (pano). The result is this following image :  I think we can see Cape York. But not sure if true. -------------------- |

Very nice, Ant - but my impression is that we still have to go a bit further before we see Cape York. Not far, though, we'll see it soon.

Ant, that's stunning. You saved me a lot of work compiling those superres frames. And colour, too!

What are we seeing here? (dead center of the left hand - northern - pan). Crop and 3x vertical stretch - no other processing.

QUOTE (antipode @ Jul 29 2010, 03:42 AM) What are we seeing here? If your referring to the mark on the near horizon (as opposed to that distant crater beyond Endeavour) then my guess (without doing any complex analysis) is a particularly large ripple I can see in the maps in that direction about 700m away. I don't see any sign of Cape York, although much of it would (I think) be off the edge of Ant's image. -------------------- My MER & MSL Imagery site - Martian Vistas ---- Twitter Feed (including sol by sol updates on Opportunity's activity)

Ignoring the Distant Vistas for the moment, as any decent geologist would do Oppy scuffs the dirt with her boot and notices...
...the largest hematite concretion we've seen thus far. Hmmm...

Hmmmmm again by seeing the dramatic effect of the wind to the scuff made by Oppy recently.
Here is the two pic. Sol 2296  Sol 2299  And a video to see this in "motion" (approx. 1.4 Mo, H.264)  Ps : thanks for appreciate the super-res pan .

Can't help wondering if that's meteoritic rather than a concretion, especially with that fragment next to it...but this isn't really my area, I'll admit quite happily

Amazing amount of movement! Thanks, Ant, for pointing that out. Just to remind folks, the big recent cleaning event was sol 2298, so in between those two views. It was lucky they managed to bracket the event like that.

I noticed that "softening" of the disturbed soil, but couldn't decide if it was wind or "physical slumping" that caused that "decrepitation". Not the terms I'm looking for, I'm at a loss to recall the terminology. But there are little details that don't look windblown.
PS:...I want to call it "efflorescence", too, but that's not right, either. And has loaded connotations... -------------------- |
