There are some gorgeous crescent saturn images coming down in the raws at the moment.
You can really see how oblate saturn is. |

Below my personal attempt to process the two wide-angle crescent images W00016128 and W00016686 (for the last one, in reality, i used RGB images W00016687/8/9 and I made also an enhanced color version):

A dirty wide angle RGB mosaic from near the ring plane (groan, again!) with a moon I can't quite identify. Might be Rhea judging by the size, I dunno.

Nice mosaic!
Even though we are in a more inclined orbit, we do cross the ring plane twice an orbit

Here's the latest six-frame mosaic:
