Visualizing CTX DTMs in 3D Using QGIS | Astrogeology Analysis Ready Data

The results of this tutorial, a 3D visualization in Valles Marineris composed of 83 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) Digital Terrain Models (DTMs). This is an in progress draft example. Please feel free to test, but use with caution! In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
searching for CTX DTMs using the STAC API creating a GDAL Virtual Format or VRT of a merge of the discovered DTMs use the QGIS hillshade tool to create a beautiful hillshade of the merged DTMs create a 3d interactive visualization using the QGIS 3d map capabilities This tutorial is linking together a number of other tutorials (linked above), so if you have any issues, check those out or add a question in the comments section at the end.
