A photo with the file name
2P126471340EDN0000P2303L5M1.JPG would be from
Spirit (2), taken by the left PANCAM through the
535nm (green) filter. By matching the spacecraft times
(in this case 126471340) with other pictures that have a
similar time, you can find sets that were taken at the same time
of the day. Use similar sets to build stereograms and color
composites. This picture was downsampled (EDN) at
site 0 (00) and position 0 (00) (On the lander in this case!)
It was taken with command sequence P2303 for MIPL
(OPGS) at JPL and is version 1.

Good stuff! Thank you :-)


Here's a small application to dump the image info:
