Wonderful, thanks dilo!
I little wonder about that Spirit was able to shoot such a picture without reflection. For comparison sol 476: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/spirit_p476.html

Is the answer that sun is shaded enough at this lower position to shoot such a great sunset. Or did they found the exact exposure time.

I think answer is mainly related to low Sun position, because is not the first portrait of this kind from Spirit:

Anyway, I made a lot of work in order to stitch the 3 original images in a unique color view; result still not perfect due to different time of shots (about 200sec between each direction) causing different sky shading... also foreground match is poor (but issue do not appear until touching lumosity/contrast/gamma in order to see dark terrain features). sad.gif
Probably, you or other skilled guys in the forum can do better! wink.gif
However, I think mosaic appear impressive, so I post it below. Note that here I didn't changed overall luminosity or color mix of original images... Please, enjoy! cool.gif

Do I see a 'Sun Tower' in that Spirit sunset shot (the first one)? On Earth, we'd be talking about high-altitude ice crystals causing it - I wonder if it's the same on Mars?
