Just saw this on the Cassini raw images page...
Ok, two thoughts... 1) that's one dusty lens, isn't it? and 2) how long until Certain People suggest this is a Cassini pic of an eatee spacecraft orbiting Saturn..?  -------------------- |

Seems to be the WAC calibration lamp. The timing is consistent with this. I remember seeing somewhat similar images from the Voyagers.

Yep, calibration lamp turned on. This kind of image was seen a couple of times in the mission already.

I've now updated the large ring mosaic in post #283 by using vastly lower resolution wide-angle data to provide gapfill for that aesthetically ugly gap. The thing looks a bit nicer now.

One of the Saturn color mosaics from July 23:
Kind of rough because of changing viewing geometry. -------------------- |

Not sure if these images - new up on the Cassini raws page - count as "exquisite" but they sure are purdy... ;-)
"Whirlpool" and "Smoke Ring" (my names) ... hope someone is planning on colourising these...  Really like Cassini images where we can see shadows being cast by the clouds, as is the case here, I think, with cloud features up near the pole... -------------------- |

Nice colors, Ian! You rotated north to the bottom, though.

Here's another couple of views; this time of the southern hemisphere, from just under the ring plane:

I couldn't resist putting together this two-frame mosaic when I saw it earlier today:
Edit: rotated this mosaic to match the two subsequent ones. -------------------- |
