To comply with Floyd's wish, here is the sol 4556 pre-drive Lpancam panorama:


And here is the Lpancam post-drive view (sol 4556):

Thanks charborob! Like Spirit Mound, Pompy's Tower looks very white with the standard pancam filter. See James Sorenson's image above in post #44.

Lots of rocks beyond Pompy's tower, in combination with the slope I suspect they will need to watch the tilt closely as Oppy drives across that.

This is a crop from James Sorenson's earlier post showing the view to the north from Spirit Mound:

I just noticed that this little bit right at the edge of the mosaic shows Cape York peeking round the shoulder of Cape Tribulation:

Right through the boulder field!

Two Lpancam views on sol 4558:

A quicky thrown-together crude Lnavcam panorama on sol 4561:


(Almost ashamed to post this. )

Don't be!

Phil

you do know there are flat field calibration files for the pancam
but for the navcam ???
and you mean sol 4561 and not 4661

a quick mask for the left navcam "raw'ish" jpg's
the 8 bit mask


copy past it onto the jpg
then in gimp set it to 33% transparent and use the "grain merge" layer blend

Sol 4562 Lpancam (filter2) view of Pompy's Tower:

Thanks for that nice stitch. I tried to put the sol4561 boulder field into perspective and had to settle for a two image join in ICE to limit the bad seams. stitch anaglyph plus simple crosseye of a portion.

Beautiful work guy's!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving for those of us in the USA.

Excellent work as usual James... any news on whether the horizon will be filled out in due course?

More images just came down for this mosaic of the ground around Pompys Tower and our wheel tracks that we left during the last drive. I likely won't get to those today. Will most likely release a final version shortly after we leave this area just incase more are taken before hand.

I am really impressed with Oppy's Sol-4564 down-link. 80 images down, I haven't seen that many down in a single sol for quite awhile, Since Sol-4006...A sign that Oppy is testing in flash? Or just a great down-link while still in RAM mode? time will tell.

This is Robert's panorama with a bit of extra processing - and I added a half frame at the end which he had omitted. I forgot to match the two ends properly so it doesn't join properly in the circular view. Still, it gives an idea of the surroundings and the tracks skirting Pompy's Tower. What would little Pompy have thought of this?

My final version of the Pompy's Tower mosaic.



False color

Sol 4571 Rpancam:

Sol 4576 Lpancam:

Looks like a easy drive ahead for Opportunity in post #70, but is somewhat frightening when you tilt the image correctly as in #69. To the left is a true Slippery Slope.

I don't come here often, so, here the last panoramic I did (Sol 4562)



And terrific work James

Nice stitch Ant103, always love to see your work, as Sarah Winchester said, keep building!
Looking at Phil's sol4582 map, it seems we can see over the first ridge now, so im trying to get a handle on the path ahead so unless I'm mistaken it looks like we cannot yet see the destination gulley in the sol4582 navcam as i suspect its still out of view behind the second ridge to the right in the direction of the arrow in the below crosseye.

Thank you Damia, very nice job as well, as always!!

We sure miss your work here, I certainly do.

Question James : where did you get the Sol 4563 pancam pictures to complete the previous Sol pan ?
I found nothing on both MER website, Exploratorium and Midnight Planets.

Thanks

They're available at the merpublic site:

http://merpublic.s3.amazonaws.com/oss/merb...es_sol4563.json

This site was discussed in this post.

Okay, I get it Thanks !
I didn't saw this discussion because it was during my kind of break of imagery processing, especially with Oppy's datas.

The public JSON server. That is the most reliable and fast server that I have found.

http://json.jpl.nasa.gov/data.json

I use the JSON plug-in for mozilla, but chrome has the same plugin. I then use the DownThemAll plugin to link follow and download the images.

I'm on Opera, but I found some Json plugin to display url as clickable links.

Sol 4584 Navcam pan also (updated with next sol imagery)

Wow, beautiful view... and thanks to this link:

http://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/space-scie...ld-reports-mars

(Larry Crumpler's latest field report) we see that this valley has a name: Willamette Valley. Soon to appear in a map near you.

My panoramics today. One navcam corresponding of Sol 4586 & 4587 :



And one Pancam of Mount Jefferson, Sol 4587 :

Great work Sean and Damia. Might do my take on on the new Pancam's and Navcams after work.

Sol 4588 Navcam pan :

Rough, uncorrected sol 4589 Lnavcam panorama:

My take, same Sol

And updated with Sol 4590 Navcams :

I missed that we dug in a bit on 4589:

A short drive back downhill and we're free on 4591:

Interesting, as I had interpreted that as the deliberate creation of a trench to provide something to study over the holiday period. But maybe it was an accident as you say. And maybe a spot of serendipity.

Phil

Sol 4593 Navcam pan. Looks like Christmas day was a busy day for Oppy ^^

Thanks a lot Fred : here are the 3-D images for Sols 4589 and 4591 showing one of the trenches dug by the wheels

And an anaglyph to go with it.

Some well defined imprints, not sure what that says about the texture of the soil. Extremely fine?

The bunkers are done, and once the fairways and greens are in, the real estate prices are going to rocket around here.

Trouble getting up the hill, or just a spot of light excavation work?

That crack in the soil is really georgia clayish....mmmmmm
