I've processed 36 frames of Titan taken over a period of three hours; numerous clouds are seen forming and dissipating

That video of cloud dynamics is great, Ian!

I'm really impressed with this work, Ian - please keep it up! It's a great window into what is going on in that complex atmosphere.

Thanks fellas!
 I'm endlessly fascinated by Titan, so I'll no doubt continue to cook up image products even after Cassini has plunged into Saturn (the PDS data is so much nicer to work with).And this is a stack of ten ratioed frames:  2016-10-30 Titan STACK of TEN -------------------- |

A belated thank you from me too for the superb work here on the sea-and-cloudscapes, and as ever to the Cassini team for obtaining and releasing that spectacular sequence of images.

Way to totally trump me, Jason!
 Awesome work, sir. And is that hazes and/or fog I see hovering over Ladoga Lacus?

Yes, there is fog or faint clouds moving over Ladoga Lacus over the course of the observations, as well as in Trold Sinus in eastern Kraken Mare and moving over parts of Punga Mare later in the observation.

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Nov 5 2016, 04:16 PM)  Trold Sinus in eastern Kraken Mare Is there a published map showing the names of bays and headlands in Titan's lakes and seas? If so I've missed it so far. One thing that strikes me when I see these images, both in Ian R's stack and in Jason's superb animation, is that Ligeia Mare as a whole appears more hazy than equivalent parts of Kraken Mare at the same distance from the terminator. I don't know if that's a clue to something on Titan, an imaging thing, or just my eyes. |

There is indeed such a map, courtesy of the USGS: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/images/t...rthpole_new.pdf A full set of maps can be found here: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Page/TITAN/target -------------------- |
