Nice animations, Emily, Nico! smile.gif

( wink.gif As you know) my present passion is also to put such Cassini animations in front of the actual starfield, as soon as more than one star appears therein. But this "mutual event" it's too complex (to me) to do the same work like by Janus and Epimetheus. So I made only one picture of it, therein Epimetheus and Dione appear three times and...: (530 kb) http://www.greuti.ch/cassini/sat_epi_dione...n_starfield.jpg

The starfield is rather exact 1 degree and Cassini's NAC shoots of 0,35 degrees fitted therein. So Cassini would see the starfield "likewise" with the accurate exposure time (I guess) - but of course the galaxies not in such resolution.
