I have noticed that the January 1, 2007 Cassini PDS release is already available, see http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassi...assini_orbiter/
I haven't downloaded all of the imaging data and I'm just beginning to digest what I already have but there are some beautiful images of Enceladus' plumes and satellite mutual events, images of the G and D rings and interesting images of Saturn's nightside and fairly good Iapetus images. Radar and VIMS is also available. All in all a nice 'Christmas gift' . |

It's amazing that Emily has put these pages together for all the main icy satellites. Nice that the images appear to be more directly usable without the need for 16-bit to 8-bit conversion (or at least my viewers are doing this more easily now). I also note the sub-spacecraft lat/lon that are useful in mapping. I wonder how these were obtained since when I browse the headers on the PDS web pages I usually just see the image center point lat/lon. I see these are listed in the more complete list of header definitions on Emily's page. Just FYI, I also like to use the sub solar lat/lon info for mapping. Kudos to Bjorn as well.
