Moved the Daphnis discussion to a new thread - Admin
I'm really looking forward to the Daphnis images (they should be safely on board Cassini by now) Although planned images are pretty distant for a body of this size, the perturbations of the ring material either side of the Keeler gap behind and ahead of the moon in it's orbit should be spectacular.... |

I'd hazard a guess that the "almost-miss" was intentional, in order to see the structure in the wakes as well. I'd think it'd be better to capture as much of one of the two wave trains as possible, to see how they change as they get sheared out & damped with time. Nice version, as always! I'll be posting it as soon as the Society website comes back online...
