Some nice raw images of Titan from April 8th have arrived! These are post T67 flyby from about 2.05M km. The images shown below display the CL1 UV3 filter (high altitude detached haze layer, N polar hood, N00153029) and the CL1 CB3 filter revealing the surface features (N00153027) that are mapped to a Celestia grid.

Cool. Quite distinct here as a collar (cf Voyager 2, 1981) rather than the 'solid' hood we've seen up to now
with Cassini (cf Voyager 1)....

With this, and VIMS evidence that the north-south hemispheric boundary has recently shifted that Jason Barnes
showed at the Titan Through Time workshop last week suggests Titan is now entering its most rapid period
of seasonal change.....

Here's a side by side comparison of the T67 and Voyager 2 images along with the approximate position of Saturn in its orbit at the time of the photos illustrating this.
