I did some renders and an animation of the E4 Enceladus flyby in March. The animation is available at http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/misc/css/stuff/e4...nceladus_e4.avi (warning: More than 5 megabytes). It starts on March 9, 2005 at 08:53 UTC and end 30 minutes later at 09:23 UTC. The distance from Enceladus at the start and end is roughly 6000 km and the field of view is 22.5 degrees. At closest approach Cassini will be roughly 500 km from Enceladus' surface.

I also did some renders from a greater distance:









Note that the field of view varies and is different from the animation.

[EDIT 22 February 2005: Updated the animation and renderings based on T3 images and added one rendering at the top]
