Looks like there was a major attack on sun imaging during the last few minutes of daylight recently - something that the increased power budget lets us do.
 Not seen an image with the sun actually on the horizon yet  Doug |

QUOTE (djellison @ Apr 12 2005, 08:54 AM) Looks like there was a major attack on sun imaging during the last few minutes of daylight recently - something that the increased power budget lets us do. Not seen an image with the sun actually on the horizon yet Doug  One of my favorite rover sunsets ended with this over-compressed image of the Sun setting over Meridiani before Endurance. The few preceeding images are higher quality. Sol 101B: http://www.lyle.org/mars/imagery/1P1371717...80R7M1.JPG.html Seeing the Sun dimming over the disk has been neat. The recent moderate optical depths have been just right. Not enough dust, no dimming; too much, and the Sun just fades away moreso than sets/ Sol 020B: http://www.lyle.org/mars/imagery/1P1299826...62L5M1.JPG.html |
