Here is an example of the results achievable with super-resolution, in case you have not seen this kind of comparison before. It's part of a multispectral sequence of Dione from Voyager 1, taken as Dione transits across Saturn (the grey background). The color version is well known. There is very little color variation across Dione, making the sequence ideal for super-res (Io would be useless!)

The right image is one original frame, enlarged 400% to show pixel size. The left is a composite of the entire multispectral sequence, weighted to give more prominence to the better images. The black dot (a reseau mark on the original - thankfully NASA quit using them after Voyager as they served very little purpose... a leftover of the days when images were archived on film) has been removed with a patch from another image in the sequence. I should add that other special processing to remove artifacts has also been done.

I put this here because it follows from the Huygens thread but obviously it could be in icy moons as well, or instead.
