Rev 184 http://www.ciclops.org/view/7588/Rev184 Titan image from March 19th 2013 has come down. The RED CL2 image shows Titan's upper haze layer well. A small detached portion appears at the right lower lighted crescent tip (arrow in fig below). Using the Solar System Simulator http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/ and applying the Titan planetary grid in Celestia http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ quickly locates this to within the 80 degree South latitude circle and so helps identify this haze as belonging to the known S polar vortex.
