The Rev09 Titan observations have been released with much fanfare (which of course caused the delay in release...)

I've bandpass filtered the tif version of one of the "land of lakes" images to bring out all available local detail in the image. Of course, all surface detail poo's out in the lower 3'rd of the image especially toward the corners where low sun angles and longer viewing paths fog surface detail to nothing. The clouds, at higher altitude, show sharp detail where the surface smudges to almost nothing.

Some of the smaller "lake-oids" have fairly uniform dark surfaces with sharp edges, others seem to have areas that are considerably lighter. Edge sharpness of the features seems to vary, but many high contrast edges are sharp down to the noise limited resolution of the image. One darkish area well above and a bit to the right of center has a lot of internal structure, some of it vaguely left-right as though part of a fracture pattern and gives an impression of a "marsh-oid" instead of lake like feature.

"Curiouser and Curiouser", said Alice.
