From "looking ahead":

"Imaging of the anti-Saturn side of Titan during eclipse will allow scientists to observe emission from excited nitrogen and hydrogen atoms and molecules in Titan's atmosphere."

Ah sweetness! I didn't know if the timing would work or not but that is a great shot of the eclipse starting

As far as airglow...well, the exposure times aren't the best for that. Someone expected to look for clouds.
