The latest 'looking ahead' gives a nice description of the pi-transfer, introducing the curious concept of a 'rev' that is only half a revolution. It also contains this sentence:
"With Kraken Mare near the field of view, scientists can also use this effort to see how using polarization filters affects the appearance of large bodies of liquid methane on Titan." Titan followers here may remember why I'm excited about that. http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/uploads...78901_thumb.jpg |

Well, keep in mind that Kraken Mare is in the muck in these views, and that might limit any differences due to the use of different polarizers.
Good though to see the public image site get the real time stream, I wish we did too... I hope too that this isn't all we got from the Titan observation. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
