I was struck by how much images like this...
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...5/N00148493.jpg ... remind me of the view through my 4.5" scope when I peer into it without the eyepiece. LOts of fascinating internal light reflections there... -------------------- |

Yay! Glad to be getting really good views of Prometheus finally. It seems to be the last of the bigger rocks that needed it.
The Aegaeon images definitely seem to show some shape. Elongated, but then again they all are.  http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=211946 (Edit: D'oh, I see now that Aegaeon's been discussed in the Cassini Raws thread already.) |

An "extended color" composition from N00150212+214+215 (filters G, IR3 and UV respectively).
Ring shadow colors are probably a timing artifact... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
