Early morning release:
  • Better IE support
  • Support subframe images of non-Malin cams
  • Create wget script from export
  • Minor tweaks

PS. Curiosity really needs a "nickname", like Oppy. How about "MC"? Any suggestions?

[Edit] PPS. As you've noticed I'm not much of a graphical designer:) I could use some help with creating a nice banner/header for my listing, various styling tips and maybe a nice, non-intrusive background. Anybody here up for the challenge of helping me a step forward on that subject?

Yes good idea to nickname the rover.
I'm using "MSL" as some others still do at JPL... and I'm now happy with it.
The more simple nickname following traditions would be the use of "CR", standing for "Curiosity Rover", using the rule set for Viking ("VL" standing for "Viking Lander")...
... And if you want a nickname like "Oppy", then call it "Curry" : I'm sure this will help scientists find their much-wanted "spicy" rocks at Gale smile.gif

I know this post doesn't belong in this thread, but I don't know where else to put it, and I don't want to start new thread. Anyway...

I have spent some time searching internet for MSL LOGO image in Hi definition (at least 1600x1600 pixels), but with no luck. That was the one they put on Atlas5 rocket. Can anybody please help me find that LOGO in Hi Resolution?

Here's what I have found:

Explore Mars! .
You can drive Scarecrow rover on the surface of Gale Crater. I did not seen this app being talked about around here, so here it is. There are some really nice terrain to drive on near the base of Mt. Sharp. Go see it for yourself. Looks spectacular! Only problem is that it crashes every few minutes so I have to restart my Firefox again and again. Guess it's because it's still in beta version. I will try it later with Chrome and IExplorer.
To bad it's past my kids bedtime. Tomorrow I'll let him try to drive it.
P.S.
Sorry for my English.
