Exploitcorporations, your mosaics are really impressive...
About SRFan question (which ring?), the answer is here: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=51438 -------------------- - Marco -

SiguRosFan - I think the "ring" you asked about is the Enke Division. So you are not seeing a ring, per se, but an absence of rings.

Oops..... or all of the rings as the case may be.
I suspect dilo is correct. Since the spacecraft was close to Dione when it took the pic, it would have been nearly in the plane of the rings. Therefore the "rings" we see at the top of the image are the shadow of the rings on Saturn's cloudtops, and the "ring" we see at the botton of the picture is actually all of saturn's rings edge on. |

Trying to identify the locations of WAC and Saturnshine frames, as well as those last few NAC frames before the crescent mosaic. Maybe there's a better way to do this than visually? Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe there's a better way to do this than visually? Any help would be appreciated. I'd think a way to approach it might be to use the SPICE kernels to get the instrument pointing as a function of time. It's possible to get the intersection of the camera boresight and the surface of the target (longitude, latitude) for any given time. That would give the lon/lat of the center of the image if the time that it was taken is known. Unfortunately, the Cassini website doesn't give the time, just the date of each photo. But it does give the distance, so the spacecraft distance could be used as a proxy for the time. There would be some error, but it might give the location within a degree. -------------------- |
