Rev209: Oct 5 - Nov 14 '14 is underway! http://www.ciclops.org/view/7945/Rev209?js=1
ISS images from October 14 show Titan once again, this time focusing on the northern, anti-Saturn hemisphere from a distance of 1.84 million kilometers (1.14 million miles). Raw images N00230469 to N00230477 were used to show the surface features (CB3), then the visible atmospheric haze (RGB) and finally a highly processed uv upper haze (UV3) overlay. The last shows quite a bit of interesting detail in the upper haze. Closer views will be coming over the next 5 days. |

Some neat images from Oct 20th are presented below. The CB3 filtered image shows lower atmospheric haze enhancements over the S polar vortex [a] and a broader band over the N polar region [b]. Kraken with its surrounding ‘ring’ is prominent as well. The upper haze layer (UV3) continues to show subtle banding in the north and south.

I'll throw this in here rather than starting a new topic just for one image. A section of Saturn's southern hemisphere taken on Oct 21. WAC RGB composite:

Seems like the right place for your work Gordon! Rev 209 has a major focus on Saturn’s atmosphere.
As discussed in the T 106 flyby mission description now up on the Cassini website http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/flybys/titan20141024/ another bistatic scattering-RSS observation will be made. This is the third one that will include a northern Titan Sea. There is an abstract (see below) to be presented at the December 2014 AGU meeting that describes results from previous bistatic observations at Titan. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/preliminary.../Paper3182.html |

Here are some T106 approach images taken several days ago. The initial background image is found in Ciclops 'Looking Ahead' here: http://www.ciclops.org/view/7945/Rev209?js=1
