Some wide angle camera images just before the T119 flyby seem to show an upper atmospheric disturbance in the raw images with multiple filters. Wonder if this is real or some artifact. The Solar System Simulator and Celestia programs suggest this is in the illuminated portion of the sub Saturn hemisphere of Titan. Not sure of the latitude edge in the WAC images. Doesn’t seem like the N polar region and the S polar region (with the vortex) is in the dark. Images appear below. Glad to see the Ciclops site being updated http://www.ciclops.org/view/8363/Rev235?js=1 and I kinda like the new Cassini website.
