This is a 360 degree assembly from Sol454 PanCam half-size images (hey, guys, this is the widest images I ever made: >11kpixel! ); horizon tilt was deliberately left in order to measure it.


Scale is 0.55 mrad or 0.0315 deg/pixel and, based on the assumption that center of Voyager crater is approximately in the Noth direction, I obtained some interesting orientation data:
when opportrunity stalled, it was going approximatively in the south direction (azimut=180°).
Azimut of Viking crater (center)... 8.9°
Azimut of most depressed horizon... 138.8°
Herebus visible margin............. 181°-193°
Opportunity tilt................... 3.65°
"bad" dune orientation............. 34.5°-214.5°(obtained using also navCam images)

Azimut of most depressed horizon is compatible with a positive rover pith angle (center of rover body didn't reach exact dune crest).

That one dune to the left is intense. It seems much bigger than the rest.
