SOL 0 - Bradbury Site Pt 2 - HiRise View

In Part 1 of this series I presented an image from the MARDI EDL, which shows what appears to be a dome/dome-like surface feature maybe a couple of hundred yards away from Bradbury Landing

And I went looking for any HiRise images which might provide a different angle on the site. I found several, and decided to use ESP_28335_1755 (RED) and IRB because NASA/JPL had also included a color sub-set that specifically covered the Region of Interest.

ESP_028335_1755_IRB.NOMAP-MSL_25pct.jpg

Using data from the HiRise info page, which states that "The scale of this image cutout is about 12 inches (31 centimeters) per pixel." allowed me to get a more accurate measurement of the distance from the MSL to the surface feature... which, near as I can figure, is 269.4736 feet. :)

In Part 3 I'll use Pythagoras to see if the MastCam caught a glimpse of anything interesting.

Feel free to comment/critique, pro or con, ask questions, what have you. And as always, thanks for reading!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
