I have observed on the solar system simulator that Cassini will get within 338,000km of Hyperion on Frbraury 4, 2007. Since close encounters with Hyperion are rare, will Hyperion be imaged on this encounter?

An early Christmas present from the Cassini folks, with the January 1 PDS release already out. Here's a couple Hyperion images, IR3-GRN-UV3 combos, from rev 39, blown up to 200%. The images were calibrated with IMG2PNG but because the UV3 channel always comes out so dark I wound up fiddling with the colors anyway, so they're not strongly related to reality.

Actually, the second image looks pretty realistic natural-color-wise, based on my experience. It captures the overall hue of the moon very well, with only a slight enhancement of the bluer rim on that huge crater. Let's call it "enhanced natural color" for the sake of inventing names.
