The first of the Rhea images for this flyby are now up on the JPL Raw images page:
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=37899

This image shows the ray system seen in earlier opnav images more clearly than the higher resolution images taken during the last orbit thanks to better illuminator.

I have a post on my blog up now on the Icy satellite targets of this flyby, Rhea and Mimas:

The big news is that this flyby should provide our best observations to date of the innermost mid-sized icy satellite.
