The still partially eclipsed moon 10 minutes before totality was discovered later on the photographs and video.
I did not notice it visually through binos, the group next to me did not see it either.

Closeup 3D views of Philae at it's landing site Abydos on comet 67P C-G


The Rosetta Osiris NAC images of May 25 2016, 19:58 and 20:02 as published on Sep 28, 2016 in The story behind finding Philae were first contrast adjusted to enhance detail in the shadow

then combined in stereo anaglyphs (rotated 90 deg)
One of Philae's legs is seen leaning on to "Perihelion cliff"






The ESA blog shows only the immediate surroundings of Philae, the whole Osiris image of May 25, 20:02 was presented at the Planetarium Stuttgart by K. Seidensticker on Dec 16, 2016
The resolution is 9.8 cm/pixel.









Here are the anaglyphs embedded in this context




In the formal discovery announcement of Sep. 05, 2016 a better resolved image from Sep. 02 is shown, however no stereo pair was captured.

ROS_CAM1_20160806T044928F._P.png
taken 4 minutes apart.

The last image shows a suspicious object at the position of Philae as illustrated on the Sep 02 OSIRIS NAC image

Processing consisted of enlarging, contrast adjustment, unsharp masking, cropping, rotating.

3D anaglyphs and an animated gif are also shown below.
