The images look a bit underexposed to me..
The Mimas images nicely fill a gap in the Mimas map! |

I have used the solar system simulator to see that the images of Mimas cover the longitudes 120W to 0W and from 0W to 300W, which have not been well imaged so far.

QUOTE (CAP-Team @ Jun 29 2007, 10:50 AM)  The images look a bit underexposed to me.. The Mimas images nicely fill a gap in the Mimas map! I'd say the raw histogram stretcher is acting up instead. The Mimas images show a very subtle band similar to the one found on Tethys' leading hemisphere. -------------------- |

QUOTE (alan @ Jun 29 2007, 06:28 PM) Are you seeing two dark dark bands or one bright band? I'm seeing a slightly brighter band (better visible in UV filters) that seems to end at the right hand side limb. It's probably just a slight albedo variation similar to the one seen to the west of Herschel - see this image for an extreme enhancement of that west side (it appears bluish). -------------------- |

A most impressive crack on Tethys (contrast adjusted and cropped, rotated so sun is at upper left). Also at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ehartwell/663279037/ N00085211 - http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...iImageID=114769 |

That one caught my eye too. It's mysterious to me how it could have formed. It's like someone dragged a stick across Tethys.

I need a bucket and a mop for all these gallons of drool. Traveling this month, so sadly unable to be all over these marvelous images like flies on...yeah. All those bitty fractures and ice that really looks like ice at high phase angles. Everything north of the scene in the 9 March 2005 view of the Ithaca Chasma should really smooth out the map of this hemisphere...I wonder if the camera team planned it this way all along (never understood why they didn't take in the whole canyon back then when they had the opportunity). Telemachus looks incredible at this resolution too. Thanks for the stitches DEChengst, and second the warm welcome to Eric!

That crack is weird. My first (and crazy) idea was if this could be a 'continuous crater chain' because there are some crater-like features along it. Anyway, lots of interesting images and Telemachus looks awesome at this resolution.

I usually don't like replying to myself but I just noticed that some nice images of Enceladus have appeared on the raw images page.
And WOW: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...iImageID=114825 |

Whoa. Awesome! But why oh why did they take the green image so much later than the red and blue?
That one was apparently taken at 12:52 UT:
And that's Pandora lurking between Enceladus and Mimas.
I love the Saturn system. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
