Using the solar system simulator I found a pass ~100,000 km from Enceladus' south pole.

Any others planned for this orbit?

I've processed the Mimas and Enceladus pics a bit - you can't perform miracles with these JPEGs, but my interest is in making near-terminator features easier to see. There's a bit of Saturnshine on Mimas.
