We are wrapping up our observations at stop #2 of the secondBagnold dunes campaign. In the Sol 1619 plan, we start off with Navcam andMastcam atmospheric observations, followed by a ChemCam observation of thesandy target "Leighton". Mastcam will then document Leighton and theautonomously identified ChemCam target from the post-drive science block on Sol1617. Throughout the day, there will also be a number of repeated Mastcamchange detection observations. Afterward, we'll drive away toward stop #3 and collectour standard post-drive imaging.
