Quote from the latest 'looking ahead':
This is the first of two flybys in a row where ISS will be prime at closest approach. This is unusual, and in the past ISS images of Titan at close-ish range have been disappointingly blurry. I've never been quite sure why, given the spectacular results obtained from the much closer flybys of Enceladus. Perhaps those successes have fed through to the planning for these two Titan encounters. |

Nicely done Mike!
Images from February 18 monitor Titan's amazing atmosphere and interesting surface albedo patterns. The CL1 UV3 filter image shows a lot of detail in the stratospheric haze including the dark N polar hood, the detached haze layer and some northern banding.
