Hi everybody,
I just registered to this wonderful site, the best in my mind to get fresh and clear informations about our favourite subject since Jason's Titan Today (Guabonito times, I think now).
I'm a little bit frustrated by the poor resolution of the ISS pictures and the poor coverage by SAR (at least for the moment).
Does someone know about the variability of the haze density around Titan ? Is it the same at all latitudes or would it be possible to find some windows where ISS could increase its resolution (as for exemple near high latitudes) ?

I also know that VIMS is able to get better resolution than ISS (like the one of Tortola macula in which the now famous sand dunes might be seen).
I'm just amazed to find so few VIMS high resolution pictures. Does this mean that they do not exist or just that they are not published yet ? A lot of interesting features schould be targeted for high resolution VIMS pictures (Ganesa, Omacatl, Hotei, Ontario lacus, ...).
