Sol 12 on onward general imaging, First TEGA delivery Options

Looks like the Sol 12 images are coming down

Motion in the scoop for sure, so hopefully a full delivery will be imaged...in full.

I'm confused...

Starting on sol 20 the Peter Pan sequences transitioned to 'near field' work which implies that the horizon pan was done.

However I can't find any images taken (or planned) between 90 and 130 degrees. Am I missing something?

There've been some interesting choices. There is a list of prioritized images with time of day constraints that depend on direction. Ideally, when a time is available, the highest priority set that fits that time goes into the plan. Ideally they do not wander around in time. There is a 3x2 chunk of horizon missing; a 3x1 (top part) was taken on 22 and was on the lander prior to shutdown. I haven't checked the analysis of what survived shutdown to make it to the AM pass. Many sol 20 pan images were lost when an MRO pass failed and there was too much unsent data for the meager flash--that's an everyday risk.
