Interesting discussion on the outer moons, but just a question, where the "asteroid-moons" Himalia + Elara + Lysithea + Leda imaged by any of the 6 precursor missions ?

Interesting discussion on the outer moons, but just a question, where the "asteroid-moons" Himalia + Elara + Lysithea + Leda imaged by any of the 6 precursor missions ? Never as more than one pixel. I suppose it would have been hard to avoid getting them at least in the background of other shots from time to time, maybe without the event being noted. Cassini took spectra of Himalia, revealing almost nothing. |

Actually Himalia was a few pixels across in the Cassini images:
