Well 44 images from the 2006 May 22 Polydeuces ~64,000 km flyby have hit the JPL raw images site.

e.g. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=76686

It very much looks like the stretching and conversion to JPEG for the images on this site have pretty much killed the original 12 bit images with Polydeuces now appearing to be overexposed. I'm pretty damn sure that the 12 bit VICAR images do NOT have an overexposed Polydeuces.

The range to target wasn't displayed (presumably they're not 100% sure of the orbital dynamics yet) and for a ~13km moon, it appears too small in the frame to have been imaged from ~ 64000km.
From that distance, the resolution should have been better than the calypso coverage, so either it's MUCH smaller than 13km in diameter, or, it was targeted from a much greater range (I'm guessing double that of closest approach)
