Hi,
CASSINI has transmitted 184 pics (!) over the last days.
Here five takeouts, 3-4x enlargement:

Date: 2009-09-06
Distance: 2.228.548 km
Filters: CL1 and CL2

Date: 2009-09-08
Distance: 3.215.284 km
Filters: P120 and GRN

Date: 2009-09-08
Distance: 3.216.610 km
Filters: P60 and GRN

Date: 2009-09-09
Distance: 3.390.271km
Filters: P60 and GRN

Date: 2009-09-09
Distance: 3.427.313 km
Filters: P120 and GRN

Maybe somebody is able to combine some of those images to show more details.

Bye.

This is a composite of four of the new images. I recall that stereo viewing of Voyager images of this northern bright area revealed apparently tectonic lineaments in this area - probably one of the old NASA TM reports on the geology and geophysics program.
