Well, that was my best guess!
 I have no idea.It's a bit large for an artifact; were there any other images taken of this field at this time? -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Looking at W00061219 and -6127 (much deeper exposures, CL1-CL2 filters) as a "brightfield" exposure, you can see some dead pixels but not in the area of Object X. So it is not in the camera.
I'm stumped. Maybe a cloaked Deathstar? I wonder, also, if those "comet-like" streamers in the deep exposures are real or internal reflections? Don't recall seeing them elsewhere.--Bill -------------------- |

Nice image. Not sure which moons these are. Interesting note: the Saturnshine on the small one is brighter than on the other one. Must be closer to Saturn. I upsampled the image to almost twice the original size. JPEG artifacts are a bit of a nuisance around the limbs.

That's Tethys and Enceladus. (Enceladus is the bright little guy.)

Neat! Two colorizations, the one on the right has several Hyperion images stacked to reduce artifacts (in retrospect I could have done the same with Titan... oh, well):

QUOTE (ugordan @ Nov 15 2009, 01:21 PM) Two colorizations Wonderful - I was really, really hoping you'd do that with the 'Hyperion rising' one. Incidentally on the other image I'm seeing a bean-shaped black blob around Hyperion, apparently silhouetted against the rest of the scene. I presume that's crept in when you were stacking images. |

I presume that's crept in when you were stacking images. Yep, that would be the source, separate background subtraction for the base and Hyperion images. It's not readily apparent to me though, I have to really look hard to notice it, that's why it escaped me. How bright is your monitor setting? -------------------- |

It's pretty bright - I see things I can't see on the computers at work.

There's your problem, it's not optimized for sRGB colorspace dynamic reproduction. Anyways, I updated the image above, try it now.

I'm unable to view the Titan animation. q_q
