The FOURTH transit season would you believe.

They slightly missed the first - but it managed to be caught with secondary reflections. Attached, an Anim gif from Jim Bell (thanks Jim!). Even though only caught with reflection - still good enough to do astrometry!

Jim says there's possibly one more from Spirit this week, similar events for Opportunity in Feb - just Phobos this time around, not Deimos transits to be had.

And they would probably use the clear L1 filter for watching the illumination change during transit, L7 (and R7 blink.gif ) would be a strange choice. Could even be a typo.
