Fantastic Kodak images of "a Rhea-Dione-Enceladus mutual event. The mutual event observation will be taken on April 25 and involves Enceladus and Dione passing first behind Rhea and then behind the dark limb of Saturn. Rhea will be 2.23 million kilometers (1.38 million miles) away from Cassini, while Dione and Enceladus will be 3.12 million kilometers (1.94 million miles) and 2.98 million kilometers (1.85 million miles) away, respectively." (Quote taken from looking ahead Rev 147)
Well, 33 images are down and what a fantastic set. Hopefully someone he can make an animation or at least rotate 90 degrees.
Reason for edit: Changed enormous inline image to a link.

RGB composite of April 25, 2011 images. I actually used an LRGB composite with the CB2 layer as luminance and RGB[CB2,GRN, BL1]:
Making the moon (Rhea) line up was kinda tricky. I copied a small section of the moon and rings and shoved it all into alignment in the individual filter images using the CB2 layer as the base image. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

I took the images from the 'mutual event' of three moons noted here and put them together as a panorama...the final composition is just as a bit of fun.
I noticed that the rings to the far right seem to narrow quickly. The thought came to mind is that they might be being shadowed by the planet. Not sure about that, but the image is a nice one all the same

Every once in a while a single raw image particularly appeals to me though I can't explain why. Here's the latest one:
