"Mission Success Pan"

This panorama was acquired in eight parts called octants, over the course of three different sols. Because the octants were taken at different times of day and across different days when the dust abundance was changing, there were large brightness and color seams between the octants in the assembled mosaic. The rendering presented here has had these seams corrected by balancing the colors manually between octants. An "average" sky color from one of the octants was also used to remove the seams in the sky in the original mosaic. These kinds of image processing steps yield an aesthetically more consistent rendering of the scene as it would have been viewed if Spirit's cameras could have obtained the whole panorama all at once.

The 'full size' image links currently go to a half resolution version of this panorama. A full resolution version is being worked on and will be posted shortly.
