Nice shot of Titan and Tethys (?): http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...4/N00164575.jpg
Part of a sequence that would make a nice animation (hint, hint).
Titan is darker than usual on this image. What would be the reason for that?

The images are exposed for Tethys/Enceladus rather than Titan. As ugordon has said these are part of a "Scientist for a Day" observation, the main concern was to make sure Tethys/Enceladus didn't saturate.
