Lakes in the limelight, the 2013 image bonanza continues Options

Some of the best ISS overviews of the northern lakes are appearing now:

EDIT: This is from the Ciclops 'looking ahead:
"Late on July 26, ISS will acquire a series of cloud tracking observations covering Titan’s north polar region.

On July 27 Titan will be observed during a calibration observation of the polarizer filters on ISS."

I will be looking to see if the lakes look markedly different through the different polarizers.

This is a 'color' version using the CB3, MT1 and MT3 filters:

Going for the MEX VMC look?

Looks very nice.

Thanks Jason! Yeah, I've been looking for a way to give the CB3 frames some color for a while now, and seemed to have hit upon a recipe that works:

The study by Poggiali et al published describes radar studies which seem to show fluid filled valleys draining into Ligeia Mare. The continuous presence of fluid within these canyons in the absence of precipitation would thus seem to indicate a subsurface source of liquid methane?

Here's my version of Titan on 10 September

In this view, with Sinlap crater in the middle, we can see: Kraken Mare, Lingeia Mare, Jingpo Lacus, Bolsena Lacus, Ledoga Lacus and Punga Mare.

I've processed 36 frames of Titan taken over a period of three hours; numerous clouds are seen forming and dissipating

That video of cloud dynamics is great, Ian!
