Yes, exactly. These movies are taken over a non-insignificant fraction of the day for these moons. But it doesn't have to do with any interaction between the two moons.

Okay, I get it. Thanks. So the rotation we're seeing is just the normal rotation of these moons. "Sunset", like Gordon said about 10 posts ago.
(I should know better than to post before doing my homework. The switching of orbits happened on January 21, more than three weeks ago.) |

Adam, it says "Limax 7" in the corner of your images. What does that mean?

My mosaic is not of good quality, I hope that someone will do it better, but the view is impressive.

Too contrast-stretched would be a better description.

And my Mimas mosaic from 4 images: N00151557.jpg N00151553.jpg N00151577.jpg N00151578.jpg Nice to see this moderately high resolution mosaic. Maybe advantageous for mapping. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

I already tried updating my copy of Steve's map Steve, what size did you use for Mimas? Did you assume a spherical Mimas? I converted my mosaic to a simple cylindrical map and I can't get things to line up.
