Looks like it would make a great tsunami, but I really don't know if this is
what a dust storm would look like. Geat colour scheme though.
The object boundaries are too visible.

The container objects are too visible. It would make a most excellent aurora
borealis though!

Oh-oh...  That's not good then.  For this anyway.

The smaller resolution animations are helped a lot by causing the inability to
observe so much of the true nature of it.  Make this thing postage stamp sized
and you'd believe you were there (maybe).
The vehicle is supposed to be seen closer another time so I do need to pay
attention to that too.
Main thing I have to get right is the thin air dust transportation effect, I'm
clueless there but trying to figure it out.  Might have to dig out my artistic
license from the old cedar chest, figuratively speaking.
Hey, wish I could link to old postings, never figured out how to do it.
Curiously Scott McD. had said he was going to remove that astronaut picture and
obviously didn't.  I remembered that one well, except for it being a Canadian
astronaut.

P.S. tiny rendition attached.

Hey, looks cool, but it couldn't be Jupiter... Jupiter has no ground surface, 
it's a "gas" giant....

Yes a Martian dust storm on Jupiter would be a strange thing indeed...

I meant nearer the upper atmosphere rather than nearer to a ground level.
Jupiter does have a surface at some depth though no doubt where the density of
the gases coalesce into liquids and then perhaps solids.  Just don't ask me to
go and make sure.

You're right. When it's really small you can't see the containers and it looks
really good, too bad it's so small ; ) It's also too bad that I can't see any
details of that ship yet, but I'll stop harping you on that. I harped on Scott McD
quite a bit on his, and if I start to do it here, it's only because I want this
image/animation to be perfect. Apologies in advance.

Thanks.  Maybe I should get back to that and make it work better in animation.
