Rev 174 has begun and features a close Titan flyby (T87). Read about it here. http://www.ciclops.org/view/7424/Rev174
A NAC pix from Oct 31 appears below, with some enhancement of the surface and the vortex.

Haven't posted in a while but it's a public holiday today.... so had the morning off and had a bit of fun. What would the "Nile" on Titan look like if we could take a photo of it? So I took the radar images (taken on T87) and had an enjoyable morning having a go making my visualization come to life. Source image at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16197

Titan is an amazing place.... when one of those polar methane storms hits I would love to be able to get in a rubber dhingy (making sure to pack my thermal underwear and take a hot thermos of coffee) and float down the river until I got to the lake!
