<i>so the color may be a little off.</i><br /><br />No matter, your colors still look much more realistic than ESA. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><em><font color="#0000ff">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</font></em> </div><div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><font color="#0000ff"><em>I really, really, really miss the "first unread post" function.</em></font> </div> </div>

Thanks. I like to sharpen the images they process so I can fulfill some of my curiosity. ESA is doing a <br />great job in trying to show the colors of Mars from space although as you stated before, it does<br /> sometimes look like Andy Worhall was painting their images.<br /><br />One thing that JPL and ESA may be forgetting is that your eyes adjust to the lighting. It even does <br />this terrestrially from day to night, so their images don't have to be as dark, foggy and gloomy because <br />our eyes would adjust to the lower amount of solar radiation of the Martian day right away. <br /><br />Explorers living on Mars eyes would adjust to less solar radiation just like people who live in the <br />extreme northern or southern part of our planet would from long dark winter’s nights. If Martian <br />explorers suddenly went out into the sunlight that was equivalence of earths they would momentarily <br />be blinded by the light.<br /><br />Here are two images from MOC of the polar region I colorized, I wonder if there are any glaciers <br />surrounding the Polar Regions? See post above for the well thought out scientific response to that <br />question. <br /><br />North Pole<br /><br />mc1-small<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Note a lot of the raw images that come in don't have all the RGB filtered, you need three red, <br />green, blue. <br /><br />I did the next three images using two filters only and got a close aproximation by adjusting the <br />hue and saturation I used L2, L5 filters only, created a blue filter out of the two of them and this <br />is what I got.<br /><br />1P152775655EFFL5M1 <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Here is another image of that stoned faced "wraskely wrrabit" another piece of the mounting <br />compelling evidence that Medusa descended from Mars before 500 BC. This helps prove that the Greek <br />mythological gods were more powerful than the Roman gods, for it helps confirm that Medusa turned <br />Mars, the Roman god of war, into a stone cold red planet<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Here are some 1 filtered images. <br /><br />There is a very small chance that the other filters to these images will be downloaded in the <br />next couple of days, if they do then we will see more blueberries and have more color to these <br />1 filtered Endurance Images.<br /><br />1P152865713EFFL2M1 <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>
