Its a significant amount of extra work to turn an equally spaced R-G-B-R-G-B-R-G-B.......sequence of images showing relative motion of multiple objects into a colour movie. Emily has a good tutorial showing whats involved. I'm not for an instant trying to suggest that people should do this -- I'm more than happy seeing monochrome movies, I've only ever had the skill/patience to do black and white myself -- just that I'm extra grateful when they do. I'm sorry if my previous post implies otherwise.

Yup! It was!

So I "faked" it. I created a color image of Dione and Tethys by centering on Dione, then shifting the RGB parts of Tethys together. (I used the "Screen" blend rather than loading into channels). I color balanced based one of Gordon's RGB images of Dione (same features showing). So Dione and Tethys have the relative color balance. Then I cut out the RGB images of Dione and Tethys and overlaid them onto the different frames. There is a tiny bit of rotation of Dione that gets lost in this trick.

Here is the result:
