The ciclops 'looking ahead' article for rev 60 (February 25th to March 7th) has just been posted, and alas no Titan or icy moons this revolution (bar a very distant wink at Tethys).
However, on the slate of observations is a 250 frame azimuthal scan of the Maxwell gap in the outer C ring, either side of periapsis.
This gap is around 220km across - more than enough to harbour a sizeable moon, and hence I suspect the reason for this observation.
AFAIK no scalloping either side of the gap has been detected thus far, but an irregular ringlet resides in the gap (as does one within the Encke division )
Anybody willing to predict yes or no to a new discovery? - any dynamicists here with sound reasons why one's unlikely to be found? does the gap coincide with any major resonances with other moons?

My guess is that no moon will be found (let's arbitrarily define 'moon' here as having a diameter 1km or greater) but I'd love to be proved wrong, and that Cassini is to find Saturn's 61st moon on the 61st orbit of the planet
