In other news, it does seem that the skies are finally clearing up a bit, now that we're well into spring. This shot, from the mid-afternoon on sol 1359, shows how heavily obscured the distant hills on the western horizon were relative to the 1397 shot taken at nearly the same hour, and included above in Paul's mosaic.
Agreed fully, definitely clearing skies. Such a pity we did not have those when the rover was sat on top of the rim still looking inside the crater. Maybe we'll have better luck with clear skies in a few years when it heads back inside :)
