While not up to Ugordan's standards here is a RGB color composite of Titan taken on Aug 7th. Images processed simply in Photoshop Elements using RGB photo filters. Views from 1.83 M km. Slightly closer views from Aug 8th may be available tomorrow.

I'm gonna go with "b"- final answer! tongue.gif

FYI, it's been asked before if Cassini was capable of imaging any part of itself, and the answer is no.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Unless of course you allow the quite remarkable image of the Huygens probe taken by Cassini
from tens of km away a day or two after separation....

And depending on what you mean by an image. If electron flux as a function of direction counts as an image, CAPS sees the "shadow" of the high gain antenna all the time. RPWS and CIRS can "hear" the reaction wheels. In one way or another, it is almost impossible to build a spacecraft which can't observe itself.
