There will be a chance to image new unseen territory on Rhea (centered at 25N, 300W) at a distance of 164,000km on August 17 at 8:00UTC. It will be a good chance to view the dione like ridges at about 1km/pxl.

Hi Steve,

Here is an old partial Cassini picture of Dione taken on December 2004 and being part of the "Amata mosaic".
It's localized north of the classical mosaic which can be found everywhere.
It seems not to appear in your Dione map, but may be it's not usable since it covers only a very small region, and it has a bad viewing angle.

I really like your maps.
I'm just frustrated that no new feature names will be assigned soon (IAU seems to have "more important" topics to discuss !!!).
Thanks for sharing your work on the net.
Marc.
