Moved the Daphnis discussion to a new thread - Admin

I'm really looking forward to the Daphnis images (they should be safely on board Cassini by now)
Although planned images are pretty distant for a body of this size, the perturbations of the ring material either side of the Keeler gap behind and ahead of the moon in it's orbit should be spectacular....
