9th October 2014 Sol 774

This is a night time MAHLI image of the Pahrump drillhole , illuminated by the LEDs.  It is a ‘MAHLI merge’ which means that multiple images within individual focus were taken in order  to get a deeper depth of field in the combined image.  You can see an array – a ’10 by 1′ set of ChemCam laser shots which has hit the side of the drillhole.

We have spent the last 2 weeks analysing the area around the drillhole, more driving next week.
