This view of the Fensal-Aztlan hemisphere also shows the north polar hood in profile — an artefact of subtracting the lone MT1 frame from the surface-reaching CB3 images:

sorry about overexposing the rings. I completely forgot about the fact that the software designed the exposures to properly expose Titan, which is darker than the rings.

And this wasn't a kodak moment. This was a cloud monitoring observation where I noticed that the rings were in the WAC field of view so I decided to include some WACs.

No worries Jason; I originally thought it was the JPEG autostetch screwing things up.
