I'm also monitoring the northern tip of Endeavour crater (see mosaic hereabove) since its 1st sightings on Sols 790 and 804 and traced back to Sol 774....
Hi Vikingmars,
For the sake of trivia and pride, I think the first sighting was about a week before on
sol 782, again noting the sol 774 image. I've been fond of keeping an eye on those distant peaks as well, even though I lost track of them for a little while.
Bill's animation from a little while back was fun in reviewing our view from then 'till now.
Also, not quite the low sun vista you were opining for there was a nice sunset sequence (pancam_twilight_L7R4) taken on sol 2411 starting just before 17:41 LTST, which lasted through just after 18:07, with the sun sinking from ~5 degrees above the horizon, to ~2 degrees below it. I think I'll try and animate it later today, though I really look forward to seeing the calibrated version.
