among the many new pancams at exploratorium there seem to be interesting
images showing what must be clouds, clearly defined as never seen before
at the Gusev site.

http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/pa...HEP2680L7M1.JPG

Interestingly, those are high-res pancam multi-filter sequences.

Questin for Dan (slinted) refering to our recent discussion about sky color:
would't this be wotrth a try to do interesting sky color composites.
Maybe you could use the brightest pixels
in the clouds as a white point reference ?

"How do you know it's an abyss and not a shadow? Are you an areologist?"
