Some Santa Maria-related thoughts from Steve Squyres...

Always nice to hear from Steve
 One funny thing. Your Wikipedia link says: The term is often incorrectly spelled as "principle investigator", which would refer to someone who investigates principles or precepts. The correct term is "principal investigator", where "principal" means 'primary' or 'leading'. And you jumped into it with both feet

Oh, thanks... I'm sat here, full of cold, looking like a cross between Swamp Thing and The Creature From The Black Lagoon, with a throat full of razor blades and gunk pouring out of my nose like some kind of Ghostbusters special effect and you pick me up on my grammar...
Kick a guy when he's down, why dontcha...!  (But well spotted, I'll correct the post) -------------------- |

For those who are not regularly following Scott Maxwell's blog on the MERs, here's the link to yesterday's blog entry, basically dealing with the IDD stall 5 years ago while Opportunity was at Erebus crater.
Oh, it also has a nice paragraph at the end.

This may not be the proper place for my question, but I don't want to resurrect an old thread. I've been using the MER filename decoder on this Web page: http://www.greuti.ch/oppy/html/filenames_ltst.htm# mainly to determine the sol number of Opportunity's images. But now it doesn't seem to work. When I insert the filename and click on "Decode", I obtain "NaN" for the sol number, and also "NaN" appears in various other places. Are you guys using any other filename decoder?

Another nice view of the north rim hills, this time averaged over the 16 L6 frames from 2424, after magnifying 2x and registering:

We can see quite a bit more of Santa Maria as of 2436. Here's an average of L2/R2 to reduce noise:
