I have recreated a new document (the original is at home) which is a copy of Teshneiner route map.

Angle A2 : Angle in degree from SOL 848 to Far rim
Angle B1 : Angle in degree from SOL 855 to Near rim

Angle D1 : Angle in degree from SOL 848 to Near rim
Angle D2 : Angle in degree from SOL 848 to Far rim
Sol 848Near rimAngle A1=62.0 degree
Distance=539.25 pixels; 952 meters
Far rimAngle A2=55.9 degree
Distance=888.65 pixels; 1569 meters
Sol 855Near rimAngle B1=-59.5 degree
Distance=451.40 pixels; 797 meters
Far rimAngle B2=-54.0 degree
Distance=803.3 pixels; 1418 meters
Heading toward BCFrom Sol 855 to BC :Angle C1=-72.1 degree
Distance=266.91 pixels; 471 meters
From BC to
Near rimAngle D1=-51.7 degree
Distance=277.68 pixels; 490 meters
Far rimAngle D2=-49.1 degree
Distance=636.59 pixels; 1124 meters
Conclusions:At Sol 848, there is 6.1 degree difference between Near and Far rim
At Sol 855, there is 5.5 degree difference between Near and Far rim
At BC, there is 1.8 degree diference between Near and Far rim.
Every sol, the diference angle of beacon betwee near and far rim will be narrower. Hence, it will be more difficult to identify its location.
QUOTE
If the beacon is a near rim feature, then it should have increased in size about 11% between sol 848 and 855.
If it is a far rim feature, then it should have increased about 6% in size between sol 848 and 855.
I measure an increase in about 5%.
The results does not coincides with ones of Horton, due to the lack of precision of positions of Sol 848 and 855.
Word of caution. The measurements and locations of Sol 848 and 855 aren't guaranted to be precise but this give some idea of how the view will happen in the next soles.
I don't claim that my measurements are right. I recognize that I need a more powerfull and image skills tools to measure more precise. That is just for a fun time.
