re: Rocks on Endurance crater wall? - enhanced image

Sol 88Images show navcam and pancam images of Endurance crater. Due to the different exposure settings and filters, the wallrocks look better in Navcam than pancam!

I've tried to "improve" the pancam by stitching a couple of frames together and then drastically boosting the contrast to bring detail out of the shadows. The result is OK, but is stretched to the limit of the data (some of the "layering" is damaged by compression artefacts).

Nonetheless, it looks interesting, with hints of large-scale layering and some massive detached blocks in the crater wall.

Unenhanced

Enhanced

I recommend you download the unenhanced image and play with your own enhancement methods - you see more that way since different bits come clear at different degrees of brightening.
