The flyby mission description is now up.
1,300 km altitude, southern hemisphere, outbound. ISS and VIMS will observe Ontario Lacus.

Thanks paxdan. Presumably also there is no way to 'stop down' the ISS camera so that it can take smaller detailed shots at closer ranges of things like the Huygens landing site and lake shores?

"Stop down" as in 2x2 binning? That's regularly been done when smear was expected to be great or S/N ratio too small. Pointing at C/A is a greater issue I'd think. -------------------- |

Pointing at C/A is a greater issue I'd think. Ahh, interesting. Does 2x2 binning actually quarter the time needed to record an image? I was thinking of just using a small part of the detector array at full resolution. I'm a complete ignoramus as regards the instrumentation so if I'm asking stupid questions please just ignore! VP and rlorenz - Thank you both very much for sharing this illuminating inside story of the Cassini team's continual debate and review of plans in the light of new discoveries and circumstances. It will be wonderful to see those lake pictures, and well worth a little temporary confusion on the public website.
