Hi everybody,
Are there any plans for icy moon imaging on June 30?
I took a look at the solar system simulator and had the impression that at least Enceladus could allow some decent shots. (Enceladus: C/A (around 9:00 UTC) about 175,000 km, Phase 60°).
And there are two more goodies! A few hours before C/A Enceladus will be in front of Saturn, allowing one or two more Kodak moments. And a few hours earlier (around 0:00 UTC) Cassini should get a glimpse of Enceladus’ leading heimspere, which has been poorly covered so far.
