Starting a new topic to include Eduardo's Google overlay for the rest of the journey to Cape York:
http://planetary.s3.amazonaws.com/gmars_ma...41_1775_RED.kml Follow the link above and it should load right in to your Google Mars features. I took a low crow's flight along the final 6km this morning. Below in green is what I think the final route will look like. Also an interesting feature along the way that appears to be a cluster of rocks, possibly Santa Maria ejecta, or large meteorite fragments. Note how the dune has evolved around the three (or more) objects. Object is at -2.199395°, -5.396676° -- roughly 3km down range from Santa Maria. EDIT: bad link replaced, wider context image added for three rocks. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

... red/green colour blind usually means they don't work 4 me ... I'm curious about that. I wouldn't have thought the inability to distinguish between colors would cause an anaglyph to fail. Wearing glasses with the appropriate filters should still provide each eye with individual images, which should create the stereoscopic effect regardless of the colors they appear to be. -------------------- ...Tom

Er I have the same problem. Doesn't seem to matter what shade of grey it is it doesn't work. Which is why x-eyed is a boon. |
