Sol 1748: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Perspective

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 19 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 0-degree cylindrical-perspective projection panorama of the Martian surface suitable for stereo viewing, centered at 272 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). This single-eye view must be combined with the partner left image to be viewed in stereo.  Curiosity took the images on July 07, 2017, Sol 1748 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 2088, site number 64. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was from 2 PM to 3 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45-degree field of view. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech
