re: Well..
It's a photoshop Job by a friend of mine (and damn good artist with words and increasingly pictures) - Stu Atkinson.
I have asked about either MER imaging McNaught - but the positioning isn't as good from Mars. They've tried and some JPG's have come down, but nothing is visible.
Sorry if anyone was confused - but within the thread it's quite obviously cited as being ' a little bit of make believe '. It is for situations like this that I wish people would link to a thread ( or even an individual post ) instead of linking straight to attachments.
