Astrometric observation of Phobos and Saturn performed using the Super Resolution Channel (SRC) of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). The animation consists of 30 separate images acquired during Mars Express Orbit 16,346 on 26 November 2016. The slight up and down movement of Saturn and Phobos in these images is caused by oscillation of the spaceship orientation after completing the turn towards the moon.
