I had to resize the images by 400%, but you can clearly see Deimos go by the sun. I owe this find to the magnificent Midnight Mars Browser, I was watching the images for February download and saw this in Sol371 Pancam...

QUOTE (dot.dk @ Feb 12 2005, 06:09 AM) This is some eclipse pictures from early on in the mission http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pre.../20040311a.html Deimos is considerably smaller than Phobos so I think it could well be Deimos in the animation. I've created an animated gif of the March 11th, 2004 Deimos eclipse...the one where we know it is Deimos...  It's attached.There does seem to be a difference in that Deimos is completely dark and well seen against the sun's disk but not outside of it. The first frame was taken 50 seconds before the frame that actually shows Deimos against the sun, then the frames are 10 seconds apart. Maybe the object is not Deimos, is there anyone who can reexamine Slinted's work from the earlier post to verify Deimos position?   Eric P / MizarKey
