Titan appears in this August 31st image taken with the NAC and CL1 CB3 filter with both surface and atmospheric features visible. This image approximates the graphic in the Ciclops Looking Ahead Article http://www.ciclops.org/view/7329/Rev171
The image was enhanced to show the vortex a bit. There also appears to be a cloud bank between 50s and 60s, north of Mezzoramia and east of Tsegihi. (thank you Celestia for the grid)

I'd noted that. I wonder how how often low tropospheric (methane?) clouds follow the edges of higher (ethane) cloud belts.
