Very nice. I think that other face is the leading side as you say.

Just "discovered" Helene, what a peculiar-looking moon! Any idea what its surface gravity would be?

Here's my RGB composite from N00172891, N00172892, and N001728913

A lot of work went into "massaging" the individual images into alignment, but there's still some colour fringing.

007 m/s2 from Wolfram Alpha: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=helene+surface+gravity
The equation is pretty simple to calculate oneself, though: g = G * M / r2.
