I have noticed that the January 1, 2007 Cassini PDS release is already available, see http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassi...assini_orbiter/
I haven't downloaded all of the imaging data and I'm just beginning to digest what I already have but there are some beautiful images of Enceladus' plumes and satellite mutual events, images of the G and D rings and interesting images of Saturn's nightside and fairly good Iapetus images. Radar and VIMS is also available. All in all a nice 'Christmas gift' . |

A little comparison of Cassini's solar eclipse as seen by VIMS and ISS:
The leftmost image is a gamma-correct (2.2 gamma) mosaic of four VIMS cubes and is probably closest to what the human eye would see. The middle image is additionally brightened and saturation increased. The rightmost image is a crop from the famous CICLOPS mosaic. Neglecting massive VIMS noise in the visual channel, if you increase the saturation the CICLOPS and VIMS colors appear pretty similar. -------------------- |
