The one with two moons was Cassini's picture of the day on Dec. 15. Unfortunately they misidentified the moons - the most elongated one is Prometheus, they reversed the names by mistake, in the press release. Maybe it will be corrected (Jason?)

And here I've made a composite of the whole set of images of Prometheus from that sequence. Three times enlarged, and merged to reduce jpg artifacts. This is similar in orientation to the best Voyager view.
