... Sample on observation tray on Sol 284
(link to gif) Paul, you already pointed to on FB and ChemCam focussing to the horizon on Sol 285: (link to gif). They were really busy this week! And SAM analysis is also running. |

.....ChemCam focusing to the horizon on Sol 285..... Not sure if that is a first? But it is certainly the first time I have noted them using ChemCam in that fashion... I thought we might have been observing a sunset, but that appears to be ruled out by the time-stamps on the images, maybe a lens effect? |

ChemCam focussing to the horizon on Sol 285: I love that focusing sequence - I feel like I've got my 'scope out on Mars, pointing at the horizon, and I'm twiddling the focus knob. maybe a lens effect? Yep, the RMI telescope has pretty serious vignetting, which leads to a saturated sky in the centre of the image, giving that "looking into the Sun" effect.
