The bottom-left view of Titan is the best one I've ever seen on Titan's clouds.

I've just dug up an awesome RGB set from the PDS showing Dione, Tethys, Pandora and the rings in color:
It's color composites like this that I wish the imaging team would release more often. Much nicer than churning out grayscales every day, IMHO. The images out of this set that were released are The Face-off and Satellite Trio. There's a bunch of gems like these waiting at the PDS. I've set up sort of a gallery where I'll post new composites on the fly in order not to trash this place too much. It's easier to browse through the images that way anyway. The only downside is the size limitation of 1024 pixels for the free account so no large mosaics until I upgrade the account. I've put up most of the images already shown here, though the processing was corrected for them after I realized the red channel was a tad too bright for some reason, while I was creating that albedo/color montage. This is why those Enceladus shots got reddish, as well as Hyperion and.. well, most first ones. I've finally been able to get a grip on narrow-angle and especially wide-angle camera quirks and am fairly pleased with the results. You can find the gallery at www.flickr.com/photos/ugordan. -------------------- |

Those are really super images. I especially like the one of Io against Jupiter's limb. They can't send me on a mission to Jupiter -- I'd be completely useless, as I'd spend all my time staring out the window. |

The photos of the rings that were posted today show quite dramatic changes in the appearance Encke division from frame to frame. If anyone could put the pictures together in a movie, I think it would be quite interesting.
