QUOTE We have started the long traverse to the base of Mt. Sharp (Aeolis Mons), the long-term goal of the mission! It may take a year to get there, depending on how many interesting features we find along the way. The challenge for the science team will be to identify the most important targets along the way, and to study them without delaying drive progress too much. Today we are planning targeted observations, followed by another drive over the weekend.   Here we go then! Mountain bound! Looks like a new thread may be in order, too. |

That's what I could squeeze out in the meanwhile by stretching brightness and replacing some of the schmutz by my own artifacts:
I'm beginning to get an imagination of the canyon located in the lower parts of Mt. Sharp. |

QUOTE (Gerald @ Jul 21 2013, 09:06 AM)  I'm beginning to get an imagination of the canyon located in the lower parts of Mt. Sharp. Love the stereo images guys. I find the Mt. Sharp base canyons tantalizing too. Combining selected Sol 36 and Sol 42 images offers a super-clean (all-MC100) anaglyph pairing of the northern foothills. To my eye the strata appears to slope downward toward the crater floor. It reminds me a bit of the terrain in the Raplee Monocline area near Mexican Hat Utah. Mt. Sharp's sloping strata isn't as drastic of course, but the depositional>uplift or depression>erosional aspects seem quite similar... A few anaglyphs from Sol 340.....
