Fantastic! Thank you Pablo.

I wonder, could you tell us whether the protrusion at the bottom of the image is the central peak of the large south-polar basin?

Bit late to the party, I know, but here's my take on the June 20th sequence:

The distant view from January essentially shows the same side of Helene, albeit illuminated from the opposite angle:

Now, the caption states that this is the trailing hemisphere, which I *think* is a mistake; the 'Eyes on the Solar System' simulation and the mini-atlas suggest that this is actually the leading hemisphere.

Here are two shots from the January and June flybys side-by-side:



...and here is a rough version of the two combined, showing the entirety of the leading hemisphere:

Here's a 'bouncy' flyby movie:

I'm posting a link to my Helene 'mini-atlas' for reference:

Holy Smokes!

Great as per usual, Gordan.

I've updated my Iapetus 'bouncy' flyby movie, which is derived from a sequence of 203 frames; tweened to 406:

Imagine if you could rock Iapetus back and forth in your hand... well, this is the next best thing:

Here's a (north up) version, with Dione just peeking out behind Titan:

My attempt at producing a stacked, up-sampled, Titan-only and colour-corrected composite:

I concur with everything Stu said so eloquently in his post.



Congratulations Emily!

Great work Mike!

I couldn't resist doing my own version of the CB/G/B composite:

This is the latest WAC view of the storm, rendered in CB-GRN-RED colour:

I've just added some rough, RGB wide-angle views of Saturn and the storm to my Flickr account:

Prequel to my last post:

Another WAC, RGB view, with one of the moons (Enceladus?) just lurking below the left ansae:

Nice work Mike!

Here's a false-colour NAC view of the head of the storm (MT2/CB2/BL1):

Or embedded in Titan, I suppose!

...and here's RGB storm composite number two:

Just got back from London: drooled over Charlie Brown (not literally), gawped at Ralph's penetrometer -- and even touched a chunk of the Titanic's hull!

Oh, and here's a quick RGB composite from this latest, bountiful, batch of raws:

It looks more daunting than it actually is, thanks solely to the ability to record macros in Paint Shop Pro, as seen here:

Most of the frames for the B&W movie were rotated, resized and rendered in a similar fashion while I was busy doing the washing-up!

Here's a merger of all of the frames that feature a moon; Callisto, alas, is sadly absent:

Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive feedback guys! I have done a colour version, using sequential G/O/B color frames:

I'm not entirely happy with it, because I can increase the frame rate by three if I use this sequence instead:

G/O/B
O/B/G
B/G/O

Stay tuned for further developments!
