Horton, Enjoy your time off!
Your image processing recipe is something that a soup nazi would lose sleep over.
Thank you for the excellent front seat view for once in a lifetime view of Mars!


Mann, there are some interesting dimpled areas in your image, and that thing that seems to be sticking out of the rock. Wind and ice may play a role here. Any areas that experience more shade or less wind will likely appear different than surrounding areas that experience less shade from the suns heat and more wind.

I say this because there appears to be an icy subsurface in this area which would likely interact more with observed surface features than what we have seen at other Martian lander locations (Opportunity, Spirit, Viking, etc.)

There is an interesting "crater" in the lower left of your binocular image that might be easily explained as a small meteroite crater. I'm not so sure though....what if it's something else?
