At 11:27:09 UTC Mastcam Left took this nice photo of the inner rim of Gale crater.
The horizon appears less hazy than in other previous photos (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/photos/a.1625578140858706/2330609020355611/).
The visibility of the crater rim itself is definitely one of the best in the last two years (one Martian year).
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone noise reduction due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation to show colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
