Though the Cassini web site is having problems with the last 13 pages of posts, images N00070759.jpg through N00070821.jpg (page 13 & 9 respectively) can be retrieved though there are no thumbnails.
Unfortunately, I am unskilled in image manipulation, but they would make a fantastic movie. -------------------- |

Great anim, Doug. I never realized before how much variation in the distance between Prometheus and F-ring!
This is a Prometheus-centric version (no rotation) of the last frames, clearly showing the formation of tidal structure:

Many thanks for the movie Doug--It is as good as I hoped it would be.

QUOTE (dilo @ Nov 27 2006, 11:32 PM)  Great anim, Doug. I never realized before how much variation in the distance between Prometheus and F-ring! Is that actual variation in distance, or is it just a result of Cassini's shifting viewing geometry and distance from the moon?--Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Great new image from Prometheus and rings.
