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'  .

Two short time-lapse sequences:
  Three frames on the left show the opposition surge on part of the rings. Don't know which part though, probably A or B rings. The surge appears elongated probably because as VIMS was scanning the cube the opposition highlight moved. Also note ring darkening as phase increases. The 5 frame sequence on the right was taken on 2006-08-18 and spans an hour and a half. Each VIMS scan took more than 10 minutes to read out. Noisy as hell. I removed most of the linear noise but it wasn't perfect and left some residuals as well as cosmic noise hits. -------------------- |
