Journey to Mt Sharp - Part 3A: In-situ science at the Kimberley, Sol 596 [Apr 10,'14] to 633 [May 18, '14] Options

I wonder if those images could be incorporated into the recent Sol 613 selfie.

I think it's feasible. Shadows are about the same since Windjana pictures have been taken at 12h45 on sol 613 and at 13h15 on sol 627.
It's a good idea since it would show Curiosity with the two drilled holes.
I'll try to make it when I'll have time

Try not to have too much separation between red and cyan; human eyes will have a hard time joining them into a single picture. Does your anaglyph software allow to move the images relative to each other?

I appreciate the advice - just got Anamaker and Hugin. It is difficult compromising between foreground and background object separation, but I'll try not to hurt any more eyeballs in the future. I had just been using the GIMP for everything.

Here is the drive from a few days ago, sol 631, 20 frames

Thanks antcitizen2 for this animation, it's really great to see the drives in 3D!

A picture that I started a few days ago, but had not been able to finish today.

I like panoramas where Mount Sharp is in the background.
When I finished stitching the panorama of Sol 630, I quickly came to try to include Mount Sharp taken during Sol 610. Though the perspective is slightly different, with some work I managed to blend the two images.

The result is not perfect, but I think it is good enough to share in the forum.

Thanks Thomas, and excellent combination, Dig! I'm excited to get going, but I'm going to miss Mt Remarkable, I suspect. Good to look ahead to Mt Sharp!

Across the crater we go!

I recommend going fullscreen and using the arrow keys to switch images (let me know if the fullscreen option isn't there for anyone?)

I'm going to keep the image size and separation consistent for my 3D-spins, even if it is less optimal for the very close foreground. I would appreciate any suggestions or input others have, as I'm still new at these.

Making your own buzzing azimuth motor noises is optional, but encouraged.

The sol 634 drive put the Kimberley in the rear-view mirror, so I've started a new thread.

The second half of the 631 drive came down.

It has been a long time since I have been inclined to use that f-word festoon-word regarding a Martian rock.

All the images are down and here is the complete Mastcam L panoramic view

This has hexagonal veins through it http://www.midnightplanets.com/web/MSL/ima...54E01_DXXX.html

Wow! Those look like mud cracks.

I'm a chemist, not a geologist, so what do I know, but this looks like columnar jointing with some kind of subsequent fill. I look forward to some experts chiming in.
