You will find those two on Emily's blog site, where she has posted all the Enceladus pictures from Cassini flybys.
Here is the link. They are near the bottom, under caption ISS_011EN_ICYEXO001_UVIS These pictures were taken under less challenging conditions than this flyby, with a lower relative speed. The distance to target was between 500 to 600 km. Edit: They were taken from a range to target of 319 km, while Cassini was at an altitude of 208 km above Enceladus. The resolution of the NAC was 4 meters/pixel, with a little smear. |
