AS17-145-22159 (OF300)
146:48:44 This is the first frame of a superb pan Gene took at Station 5 It shows a view across the rim boulder field toward Wessex cleft.
AS17-145-22160 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. East wall of Camelot Crater.
AS17-145-22161 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Rover on the rim of Camelot, up-sun from the boulder field.
AS17-145-22162 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Up-Sun view of the Rover.
AS17-145-22163 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. East Massif.
AS17-145-22164 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Bear Mountain is the low, dome-shaped hill in the foreground.
AS17-145-22165 (OF300)
146:48:44 This superb picture from Gene's Station 5 pan shows Jack running back to the Rover, carrying the scoop in his left hand. Bear Mountain is above right-center and the East Massif dominates the left horizon. Note that Gene did not turn to his right after taking 22164, a clear indication that he saw Jack coming and decided to wait for him to come into the field-of-view. This superb picture is an intentional 'study' of Jack in motion.
AS17-145-22166 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Bear Mountain and the eastern foot of the South Massif. A detail shows a set of Rover tracks. The pattern of disturbance in the small crater on the left side of the image suggests that these tracks were made while Gene was driving from right to left, and probably while he was approaching the Station 5 parking place.
AS17-145-22167 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. South Massif. Rover tracks visible.
AS17-145-22168 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. South Massif. Rover tracks visible.
AS17-145-22169 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. South Massif.
AS17-145-22170 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. South Massif.
AS17-145-22171 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. This frame shows the sunward face of the Scarp, its brightness enhanced by material from the South Massif avalanche that covered much of the western entrance to the valley of Taurus-Littrow.
AS17-145-22172 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Down-Sun toward the Scarp.
AS17-145-22173 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Gene turned to his right and lowered his aim to get a picture of the gnomon and color/gray scale.
AS17-145-22174 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Boulder field and the western horizon.
AS17-145-22175 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Boulder field and the western horizon. The lower hills on the right are a westward extension of the North Massif.
AS17-145-22176 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Hanover crater and the extension of the Scarp on the side of the North Massif is just above and slightly to the right of center. From this vantage, the area around Hanover is brighter than it was from Shorty. Note the bright, white patches of shattered minerals - primarily shattered plagioclase feldspar crystals - associated with 'zaps' on the foreground boulders.
AS17-145-22177 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. The west wall of Camelot Crater can be seen on the right.
AS17-145-22178 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. North Massif. West wall of Camelot Crater.

146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. North Massif. West wall of Camelot Crater.
AS17-145-22180 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Camelot Crater. The dark boulder and its long track can be seen on the lower slopes of the North Massif at the right.
AS17-145-22181 (OF300)
146:48:44 From Gene's Station 5 pan. Camelot Crater. North Massif.
