excellent brill! i had came across that article from a link on another site about a year ago. i then went to badastronomy.com and read what that arrogant fuck phil plait and nasa had to say and the official story was laughable. it was like 5 pages of technical shit that made no sense.

its like this brill. when you are looking into the cosmos you need instruments that see in all the important spectrums of light. what may look like a clear patch of space may actually be a enormous gas cloud so hot you can only see it in the infrared.
when taking pics of a planet from a orbiting probe it pays to have different cameras to look for certain clues about the chemical makeup of the object. there are no known reasons for these false color pics though. none of them are taken from a scientific viewpoint. they are just false color for the sake of being false color.
the rover on the ground do not need all these technical manipulations to provide accurate color reproduction. natural light will do that for you. they are not exploring a office building with florescent lighting.
brill most consumer cameras have everything built into them to take accurate color reproduction pictures on mars. light meters and white balance being the two most vital components. with those two you can't go wrong no matter what planet you are on.
what nasa has done is create rube goldberg of camera techniques and image manipulation so that when questioned they can confuse even the most technically enabled photographer with their nonsense.
the most telling clue of the whole thing is that they should be scaling back the red hue to better see things that would be other wise lost.........instead they ramp it up. by doing so you lose detail and contrast. it would be like going to the moon and saying we need to add more gray to the images.

Reminded me of Burgh Island well not really just an excuse to share unless you are north shire of Devon then it would be Woolfardisworthy Aardvarks . Rareclan, you cant make it out very clearly (top left pic) but the Pilchard inn is a great place to visit on Burgh for a good ale, just dont forget the tides, which will cut you off on the island. Upside is you have to stay in this place for 6 hours or so to avoid wet feet. I'm liking Mars more and more , like home

I'm liking Mars more and more , like home I was staying in Woolfardisworthy visited Bideford and Clovelly also Burgh Island back in my larger days.Had a pint of Holsten Export in the Pilchard Inn,walked over came back on tractored platform.Time for a revisit me thinks,maybe Spitfire will be quaffed. Drextin could make a film,OCB members the cast and we could call it Woodgod's Rehabilitation English Style ! ! ! Open to suggestions on title.
