New images! A lovely shot of Mimas. Here I've taken liberties with one of the images by adding the saturnshine crescent from another view - they don't really fit exactly so it's not perfect.

I was wondering about the Dione observations. I've searched the raw image page and they still are not in.
Was Dione observerdat all? If so, are the images lost or not yet transmitted to Earth yet?

No Dione observations were planned for ISS except for that opnav. This orbit's Dione encounter was at a very high phase.

Greetings,

I've now added the daylight portion of the image (shown in post #1) to my Mimas map. This helps cover much of the gap in high southern latitudes on the leading hemisphere. If needed the night image might be able to fill some more, we'll see...

In the meantime, the updated version is at this URL:
