A neat RGB set recently came down, similar to another one previously released. It features Tethys, Mimas lit by saturnshine and another small moon at the right edge of the image, suspended in the rings.

My money is on either Epimetheus or Janus.
At the time, distance from Saturn was 2.6 million km and phase angle was around 112 degrees.

Three moons are visible in this photograph: Mimas, Ryea and Tethys. Cassini took this photograph on March 11, 2006 when it was approximately 2.8 million kilometers (1.8 million miles) from Saturn. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/ti...rn.html?1942006 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined, and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
