Perseverance on its way to RMC 42.2700 made a stop to take a picture of its companion, Ingenuity, at RMC 42.2360. The team apparently intended the image to be very detailed so they used Mastcam-Z with a focal length of 110mm from a distance of 14m!

There is a another image in the pipeline that will fill in the missing part of the image. I will share it again once that full frame image arrives and has been joined with the first one.
