Yes, there is fog or faint clouds moving over Ladoga Lacus over the course of the observations, as well as in Trold Sinus in eastern Kraken Mare and moving over parts of Punga Mare later in the observation.

Trold Sinus in eastern Kraken Mare Is there a published map showing the names of bays and headlands in Titan's lakes and seas? If so I've missed it so far. One thing that strikes me when I see these images, both in Ian R's stack and in Jason's superb animation, is that Ligeia Mare as a whole appears more hazy than equivalent parts of Kraken Mare at the same distance from the terminator. I don't know if that's a clue to something on Titan, an imaging thing, or just my eyes. |

There is indeed such a map, courtesy of the USGS: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/images/t...rthpole_new.pdf A full set of maps can be found here: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Page/TITAN/target -------------------- |
