The alternative is to have it done in 4 columns at a time - and then the join between the 'batches' is bad

Wowww O_O, it's wonderfull! This is a spectacular view! Agree, is truly spectacular view! This is a crude manual stitch of 4 images centered on Husband hill: Incidentally, on the same Sol Spirit take also this intriguing view joining various symbolic elements (sand, rocks, tracks, solar panels, cameras mast shadow...) -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Some dramitic low angle sun illumination pics from Spirit's Pancam today e.g. http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/...00P2408R1M1.JPG For my, that is one of the most beautiful scenery on Mars. This landscape express that this land is not dead, this land has some pattern of organization done by the winds, the consistent composition of sand, localized, and delimited. These combination of true, has striken to my mind to ask "Is there something expression of that scenery?". Rodolfo |

This is a crude manual stitch of 4 images centered on Husband hill: I don't know about "crude manual stitch", Dilo caro, but for me this is an image that is spiritually uplifting. What's more, it simply begs to have Spirit present, gazing into the setting sun. Astro0! Where are you? Let this be your masterpiece! . edit: Call it, Sunset of Spirit -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Dear Shaka, this was done by approximately rotating and joining single images through a photoretouch program.
This night I cannot go to sleep before this complete version: now made with AutoStitch, not easy due to strong differences in contrast/luminosity and for this reason required also lot of post-process adjustments, but I think the image is worth (hey, missed horizon on the right appear a little odd to me!). Now Nirgal and Astro0 can do some magic on this! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Great panorama, Dilo. That pic is one of the best, most evocative I've ever seen. Makes Mars feel like a real "place", not just a point of light in the sky. That something could look so familiar yet be so very far away is something I am having a hard time wrapping my imagination around.

...Thanks to all but especially to Spirit!
(anyway, there is some strange thing on this "lookout hill", recalling me Nazca features... ) -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Not to take away any pending thunder from Nirgal or Astro0, but here's my attempt at artistically rendering dilo's superb panorama. I'm fairly new at this, so feel free to let me know how it can be improved. especially in terms of sky color.
