@65dBnoise Yeah I was wondering about the 63mm movie connection? Was that a common focal length for previous movies? Seems like in this case the images were just part of a panorama.

I don't think so. The flight 13 movie used both left and right Mastcam-Z eyes, one with a 26mm FL and the other with a 110mm FL.

The times of today's images also don't support the movie theory. It's midday while the expected flight time is late afternoon. So, most probably, the flight did take place on Saturday, and we just happened to get a bonus pair of MCZ shots of the heli in a regular panorama scan.

Well, that movie idea was good while it lasted 🥴
