Recently there have been a few interesting Navcam pictures that show more of the Sky than the usual small stripe along the horizon.
This gives a much better impression on what the Martian Sky would actually look like for a human observer..

I wonder if anyone knows which could be this bright star at the top, right of the center, (if it is a star and not some camera artifact) in the following picture of the late evening sky over Endurance:

could this possibly be the earth ??

(would be easier to tell if there was a a blue-band-filtered Pancam-Version of the image :-)

However, from the known orientation of the camera and the time of day it should be possible to find out which star/planet/moon this could be ...


The same question for the bright star in the following image:
