Curiosity Mastcam Composites

I'll make this thread a work in progress and continue to add Curiosity composites in here as they are processed, starting with this two frame combination from Sol 962 taken by Curiosity's right mastcam. The images were processed from the PDS raw .img files.

Here is a two frame combination from Sol 554 as the rover was headed towards Kimberley. I processed the images below from the PDS raw DRCL .img file.

Totally three homeruns in a row! 8 bit has really opened a new window into the "Curiosity Rover" saga. Especially with so much good data already in the PDS. I wish we got the raw data faster but they sure blow those 70 percent jpgs away. They can still be used though when they are new images since we have our ways to get some of that blur out and restore it. Great work buddy. Another two videos from your posts coming up. Hoagland 5-21-16 we are on doing an image paneling show with the guys and this time we are tackling Gale Crater which means anything from above or anything from Curiosity. I asked the UFAH guys and gals to give me each there best anomaly and I am going to take a couple of mine and maybe even some of these new ones and send them on over. The pic from 632 is my next anomaly video for Mars for sure. If you have any smoking guns from Curiosity to maybe add to my show contributions. We really want to nail this one and then I will make a YouTube video and hopefully with all of us working on it we can get it to go somewhat viral and really awaken some public. I am really trying to throw a lot of good energy at it. I have been trying to figure the 8 bit stuff out forever. So glad you nailed it and found MultiSpec! We will have to work on a article for on here and or the forum teaching what we have learned! Rock on!

Here is a composite using three right mastcam images from Sol 365. The images were processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img files.



Note the relief pattern present on one stone, enlargement below.



Also, there is a strange mix of materials (enlarged below) embedded on the ground near the rover, perhaps sedimentary.
