Cassini will be within 391,000km (at 17:00:00 UT) of almost all of the area that is poorly imaged right now. That is the area from about 20W to 150W longitude. Will this area be imaged on this orbit? If so, one would have about 2km/pixel resolution. -------------------- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed. - Opening line from episode 13 of "Cosmos"
