Frank, wavering between natural response and virtuous silence you failed the resolution test.
When you "float" the poitner above an image in Bf. you see some stats. incl. number of views. Doing so here should indicate how seriously readers take this new DVD-case methodology.

I tell her and tell her to trim those damned fingernails but do you think she listens? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and then she poses for a pic. It's getting to the point that you just can't take her anywhere. Sisters....what do you do with them? She's becomming a family problem. Anyone take her off our hands?
Like Henny Youngman said [almost] ......take my sister....please.

lilcrazy2: I see you got "The Point!".

CJ, sorry but the previous pic. above is more versatile as a test - resolution, etc.
Yours totally fogged me - the jargon was cryptic at the outset - till I googled, and all the explanations are fascinating. FWIW, on the optics side JPL gives some interesting specs. (This cannot be off topic here because there's no topic here.)
So much has this ridiculous thread affected me that my immediate reaction was to visualise two DVD cases (in place of the two test charts) on the Mars rover!

Pompadour, if it is to the USBF #bh46118 "Candy-O" reference pix, that you refer - then I do concur; although I do think it more suitable in testing pulse rate and bloodflow dynamics - not that there's anything wrong with that!
Perhaps NASA could license the #bh46118 reference pix, in order to calibrate each of the two cameras for imaging Olympus Mons!
The JPL specs are indeed interesting .... perhaps I could get some of the good ol' boys to outfit me soma thar fancy 'opal glass' as a bin upgrade .... I claim no familiarity with 20th C American coinage, though if I train my bins on that 1909 penny at a distance of 10ft, I seem to be able just to make out the words ....
"In dog we trust"
Curiousity and curiouser! :cat:

Yes I meant that pic. It's one I could not help myself imagining there! From what you say, if NASA choose it they can also save weight and cost of some medical montoring equipment, in manned missions. The story of the coin is nice but does give it more of an Alice in Wonderland flavour.
CJ, nice to read your posts but now we'd better heed Lee's warning above. Lee, like the Muse of the Thread you set a thing up and then warn us about it!

Yep, mea culpa, but like Topsy who unpredictably grew and grew, this thread has deviated (and I use that word deliberately) down some dark alleyways that I never expected!
It has been great fun and I hope that Denis, who inspired this thread realises that we have been laughing at ourselves.
For who amongst us has not focussed our bins on a billboard, some building signage, or, in my case, the spines of books in a bookcase across a room, when setting our dioptre adjustment? None of these is any different in principle from a DVD cover.

I just got this from my contact at JPL. It's been re-calibrated for light filtered through Mars ultra-fine dust (also works well for bins with a strong red bias).
