We had some images of what is probably Phobos on the evening of sol 4612. Here I've tried to isolate the stars, by registering and averaging the two differences of two similarly exposed frames (with stretches and Gaussian smoothing):

The stars are the short streaks aligned roughly from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock. (You can see some residual scarring from imperfect subtraction of Phobos.)

Edit: I realized I could get a cleaner subtraction of Phobos by smoothing before subtraction; result replaced.

It's Deimos (from tweets by Mike Seibert, and the file descriptions on Midnight Planets).

Thanks, Phil. I'm out of practice with the moons - it should've been obvious. Phobos has marked "retrograde" motion, while Deimos is nearly synchronous, and this bright object is in nearly the same position in each frame (hence the good subtraction).

Regardless of moon identity, it is an impressive effort Fred.

Thanks, Jan. It's not easy to get a good result from reprojecting panoramas taken on a steep slope, at least the way I do it, but this is Jan's panorama from sols 4611-4612 in circular form, so you can see the approximate layout of the terrain here.

Well, still some 200 m to go, but we're getting there.

Thank you Damia, it is great to see where we are headed out-and also looking back down the valley.
