This is a super-resolution composite of five frames from the Phobos-Deimos sequence on sol 351. Four images (in two pairs) of Deimos appear as smudges on each side - one of them shows the position of the dark limb of Phobos. The 'super-resolution' process (combining multiple views, enlarged and sharpened) is mostly just reducing the JPG artifacts here. Now Stickney can be seen at left, where it was overexposed before.
Phil PS - I don't show it here, but if you increase the saturation in the RGB image you see some color variation - this is real color variation on Phobos, blue around Stickney, red over the northern limb. I say 'real color variation' - not 'true color'! -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
