It looks like we might eventually get the full sweep between 3:02 and 3:04
So these must be stars in the 2:58 image centering on Deimos. Then after the close in exposure optimized shots of the transit, we pull back out with long exposure and see the stars again in the 3:05 image The stars in the long exposure shots appear to correspond perfectly with the stars in the subframe transit shots, so it appears Deimos is going the opposite direction as Phobos relative to the background stars! |
