The drive was short, so they could image the wheels.

This mosaic is roughly assembled from 15 overlapping images using MS-ICE. The stitching program ignores the shield on the robotic arm, but stitches the ground very well. There are some darker patches at the edges of the overlapping images, try to ignore those, those are vignetting which is a result of the seized filter wheel inside the L-MastCam.

Before assembly the L-MastCam images were de-Bayered.
