Using that BnW 20x20metre image they released of Oppy in its current 'situation' - and the colour self portrait from 100 sols ago or so... I made a preview of what Oppy might look like today to HiRise..
![]() Cool eh ![]() As a comparison - here is a simulated CPROTO image from MGS - at 1.5m/pixel horez, and 0.5m/pixel down track.. ![]() A WORLD of difference ![]() Doug |

Hey doug,
Can you try projecting a late-afternoon shadow onto that photo? For example, one made when the shadow is about 3-4 times as long as MER? I bet that's what they're going to show today... -------------------- Space Enthusiast Richard Hendricks

Nope, what you want to see is right here: http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/images/TRA/TR...pportunity.html The rover is easily spotted, as are the shadow of its camera mast and the tracks the rover has made recently.
