A close encounter of the Titan kind will take place on April 7th. Cassini’s instruments will analyze Titan’s upper atmosphere at local noon on Titan in this very close approach. VIMS gets a chance to see a ‘stellar’ occultation of Antares by Titan as well ! See http://www.ciclops.org/view/7859/Rev203?js=1 for all the exciting details of this Rev.

Absolutely beautiful imaging Val !!! (ugordon watch out for this ‘newbie’).
I must confess I did not see Antares in the two GRN Cassini ISS raw images.
I also wondered if ISS did see a new N temperate lake on the T100 flyby. The nearest Titan’s WAC camera view (W00088191 from 7.6K km) appeared focused on 30N and 160W (not on the possible lakes mentioned in the recent VIMS abstract). http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2014/pdf/2572.pdf . W000888191 appears near the center (black arrow) of the otherwise narrow angle camera montage below. Image N00222789 (red arrow) appears to show a branching large channel not imaged by ISS before.
