Is the upper shiny spot a bright star or Deimos?

Thats funny, at exactly the same time, with exactly the same equipment, I was taking a similar exposure of the sky here in Leicester

Oddly enough, I tried too - but it was raining here in Glasgow!

To help compare these pictures of Phobos and Deimos taken from the the surface of mars I have rescaled a couple of pictures of our own moon to create a simulated view of what we might see if Spirit had been sitting in my kitchen pointing her Pancam out the window recently! pancam.gif smile.gif



Moon with Jupiter (16/06/05)




Moon with Venus (07/09/05)




Increase the exposure to see the dark side. (Star Spica also visible, bottom right)

Good photo, James. Here is Phobos' visual size compared to our Moon's, based on your image and Peter59's image.
