Re: water flow 68 degrees south on Mars

I think the main reason I don't use the moc o matic in these is that is seems to take away some very fine detail. This is not surprising given the way it works. Basically the MOC takes photos by lots of vertical lines and each can change in brightness randomly through factors such as cosmic radiation I believe.
Destreaking then averages out the discrepancies between lines by a mathematical formula but because the input errors are random and the output is a nonrandom algorithm it must add distortion to some degree.
Maybe it's just a personal opinion but when I want to point out fine details I like to leave them as raw photos, maybe I'm wrong.
Incidentally I just tried using the m o m on a photo and it totally failed though the msss gif was ok. Try m1002442 and see what happens. By the way the spiders are amazing, even like worms at the bottom.
