Taken three minutes before the image above with the wide-angle camera, this image is shown in a logarithmic scale to bring out details in the varying light intensity. As a result the scene looks roughly the same as it would appear to the human eye.

In the last pic, I'm wondering what the tiny dots are (multiple white and one black) : due to Osiris?, to data processing?, to objects above clouds? (X,Y) for the black at (760pxl/2048, 456pxl/1083) and for one white at (753/2048, 172/1083). At least the block dot is also present on the first pic.
