Frames for a prometheus movie seems to have appeared in the raw images. What software do you guys use to make a GIF animation? I might actually try and make one some day! But I'm sure lots of you can do it faster and better

Break out the swear jar! That's incredible! There's so much going on in there, with the kinks in the F ring, the Saturn-shine side of the moon...wow!

New beautiful sequence. Mimas hides Prometheus.

Well spotted, Peter, thanks for the heads up! The rings being so flat and opaque makes for weird effects -- they're seen in shadow, even though Prometheus and Mimas are seen at pretty low phase angle, nearly fully lit.

I'm pretty sure that I spy Pan scooting around in the background (on the far side of the rings) on some of these images too, with a bright wake in evidence.
Very nice kodakkery. |

QUOTE (jasedm @ Oct 23 2008, 09:24 AM)  I'm pretty sure that I spy Pan... I thought I saw Pan too, but when I checked it out in the Saturn viewer on the PDS rings node, that told me that Pan had passed by earlier. But there's definitely a bright spot appearing near the outside edge of the A ring in the last few frames. I couldn't figure out what was going on so I didn't mention it in my writeup.--Emily -------------------- |

I thought that was Daphnis? Analysing the ring appearance I'm inclined to think this is a very foreshortened view and the gap in the middle (visible at the end of the movie) is not Cassini Division, but

I think you're right. Daphnis isn't showing up in the Saturn Viewer, so I forgot to think of it, but you _can_ ask the Saturn Viewer to center the view on Daphnis, and it's centered in the right place. I'm not sure why it's not showing up, maybe because it thinks the rings are obscuring Cassini's view of Daphnis?
