Does anyone know the scale of the photos, i.e. how distant is the crater rim? The detail views do look hazy to me - like most of Utah (including Bryce Canyon) this year due to wildfires. I've been trying since August to get pics of the zodiacal light but the smoke in the air has made it a useless exercise.

It would be nice to have a blue sky to contrast with the tan colored landscape. Those panoramas look like a bad air day near Bryce Canyon because of air pollution.
