Hi everyone, my first post here!

With the recent image that clearly shows Fram crater, and the rover tracks from there, I am "visually curious." Has anyone managed to spy Eagle Crater in any of the images? Personally, I lost track of it before Opportunity even made it to the Antilles fracture!

Cheers,

Kelly

There have been hundreds of images coming in from opportunity, the next big pan from its current location is going to be spectacular.

Is this the image you were referring to? The tracks leading from fram crater are visible, but eagle crater isnt immediately obvioius, ive pointed toa few features that "might" be it though.

The one you marked on the right is correct i think

I beg to differ, Doug. Like you can see on this orbital image

there's no way to draw a staight line from Endurance over Fram to Eagle Crater.

My best guess is it *may* be the poorly visibly feature at the horizon of this image:

But it's hard to tell.

You make a good point Perhaps it's the one marked on the left - the angles would make more sense

Doug

Yes, that could be. I found the right camera image

but this feature isn't visible there due to compression, I think. So it's hard to say how far away and how big in diameter it is.
