It looks as if Mike and Phil's efforts have paid off

Deimos!

EDIT: Sorry, Phil, I didn't read all the way to the bottom of the release.

I should have added this before - if you look closely at the MSSS release and my image a few posts up, you will see that they are mirror images of each other. The raw MOC image is flipped, and in my image I have corrected this so the moon looks like it would to you if you were there. I thought MSSS would correct for that in the release but they didn't. This serves as a warning to anyone browsing the MOC image gallery, that some images are flipped. Usually it makes no difference to you until you try comparing it with maps or other images.

I didn't work on this release, and I think more effort could have been spent on it, but when you're banging these things out once a day, there really isn't much time to spend on any given one.

Images in the gallery are raw out of the camera. I tried to make it as clear as I could in the ancillary data what the flipping status is. Obviously the map-projected versions are north-up east-right as one would expect.
