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...

I like the bad pixel idea - I was worried about the size of the reflected image being so small. The clincher would be the cropping info that presumably could be extracted from the img files (when available) which would tell us if the "moon" is at a fixed ccd pixel.

Or, if people are out there with oodles of spare time on their hands wink.gif they can check for a similar occurence on sols for which we already have the img files!
