It's starting to appear, the ISS volumes COISS_2026 and COISS_2027 are up, but not searchable yet. They can be accessed directly:

I've done a preliminary browse of the thumbnails to see if anything interesting's up. This is still the time period when Cassini was spending a lot of time on the nightside, seeing unlit rings. The real good Saturn stuff should be appearing in the Jan 1, 2008 release.

In the meantime, here are a few takeouts:

Hyperion in natural color, 2x magnified.


Iapetus in natural and IR3/GRN/UV3 color, 2x magnified. November 27, 2006.


Couple of Saturn north pole shots. A moon shadow (probably Mimas) visible near the terminator in the left image.

Titan and a lovely shot with Saturn's hazy limb showing through the translucent, unlit rings:
