Made a video (animated .gif) using the MAST cam images from Sol 3 showing the surface of Mars

It didn't come out as good as I thought, but I tried. Probably beat NASA to it, though! (But they're busy right now doing more important things on the rover than just images)



Images play at 300 ms (.3 seconds) apart and they are obviously thumbnails - which are about 28 seconds apart from each other.

Edit - Can we embed this? I just never seem to get it right.

Nice!
(downloading to gif folder)
The ball is in your court, NASA, bring it on!


PS: You have to upload it to ATS. Go "Tools+"->"ATS Uploads"
Then paste the first of the three (I think) urls they give you.

Thanks. I tried that and it didn't work. Maybe because it was an animated GIF, it didn't like it? I'll try again.

Yeah, no dice. It says I need Adobe Flash for starters (which I have), but after it lets me upload the file, nothing happens. Can someone just download it and try it themselves?

I think you did, but NASA made a panorama with those images.

You cannot upload it to the ATS upload space because it's too big, the maximum file size for ATS uploads is 500k.

There's always a work-around for those who know how.

Oh ok
I see someone posted it somehow.

Hey Armap.

Are you sure about that? Because that panoramic came out early yesterday or so.

I could be wrong. So we can take all of these thumbnails and if we know the sequence, we can get panoramas? I hope so, because that's awesome and I want to stitch the photos together. It would be fun.

Edit - never mind. I just checked it out. Cool. Can't wait for the full resolution images to be made into a panorama!
