Funbox, I am relatively certain that these black area screenshots are from the Mars Orbiter CTX camera.

one of these perchance ?

ArMaP, do you possibly remember seeing/discussing this in the past?? 

No, but on Sunday I remembered that old thread and went looking for it.

No, I am fairly certain that I made the screenshots on this from a very long CTX photo - the size of photo that even if I had used it, i would have had to give directions on where/how to find this black spot in the photo.

A suggestion: next time name the image after the photo ID.

is this a case of science obfuscating information.. access to map information, cannot easily be achieved via lists, 

maybe a co ord system like google maps or earth.. but they know this already..

Well funbox, one of the differences is......... the MOC photos are taken at an altitude of 200 miles +/-, so many if not most of those photos are longer ones.  Quite different from photos taken with cameras on the ground Rovers!!

The list has the coordinates.

Like this? I have been using that for several years.

Indeed, the rovers photo's are being used in VR, which could be interesting in exploring the planet .. although the general feeback from the majority of the headsets is not great * sickness, vertigo ,headaches etc

virtually sick on mars

You can also use Google Earth, but it looks like they do not update their information has fast as that site does.

New article about Mars sand I know you guys were discussing somewhere.
NASA Rover's Sand-Dune Studies Yield Surprise

Some of the wind-sculpted sand ripples on Mars are a type not seen on Earth, and their relationship to the thin Martian atmosphere today provides new clues about the atmosphere's history.

do you know of where they're referring to here ? ..

The researchers checked ripple textures preserved in sandstone more than 3 billion years old at sites investigated by Curiosity and by NASA's Opportunity Mars rover. They found wind-drag ripples about the same size as modern ones on active dunes. That fits with other lines of evidence that Mars lost most of its original atmosphere early in the planet's history.

wish they supplied some sol numbers /co ords

Sure don't hope it has something of interest to you guys though.
