Great Exploitcorporations,
Finally, I'm not quite sure about my identification of Pollux in the last Cassini pictures. I think also that you made a mistake with the blue dot in the Voyager image. I would have put it in the smaller neighbouring crater which is half in the shadow (lower right), called Hilairea. Marc. |

Not bad, though I would make one correction (I think...):

Yes Phil, I realized (a little bit too late) that I was wrong. Nice composite. Thanks again.
And I completely agree with Jason's corrections (it's what I tryed to explain in my previous post). Marc. |

What is the dark arc in the 11 Nov 1980 image in Exploitcorporations's post?

IIRC, that's a ring shadow. Saturn was still pretty close to edge-on to the Sun in 1980 (the plane crossing was in 1979).
Hey, EC!  Good to see ya!

Yes, the arc is a ring shadow...
Agree with nprev.... great to see you back EC! Am I imagining things, or does the edge terrain on the left of the image seem more muted, as if ice blasted by ring particles perhaps? Craig |

Ahh, it's always nice to see color views produced by you guys where color is available. The lack of a brownish tint in stretched color reminds me of Telesto. Can't remember if Helene fits into this category as well?
