There is an early 'Christmas present' at the PDS: The January 1, 2008 data release (ISS and VIMS) is already there. I have managed to take a quick look at all of the ISS images and post a summary at http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/misc/css_stuff/im...s_overview.html . This also includes all of the earlier ISS data volumes.

With the exception of Titan, there are very few interesting satellite images this time, Cassini's orbit was highly inclined. The most interesting ones are probably the ones of Hyperion in coiss_2029\data\1550261798_1550410364 (mentioned by Emily in this thread).

There is heavy emphasis on the rings with lots of various movies including F ring movies, spoke movies etc. plus lots of multispectral coverage showing both the lit side and the unlit side. There are also many interesting images of Saturn, mainly WAC images. These include great images of the south pole obtained at high inclination. There are several images there that I'm going to process when I have the time (probably immediately after Christmas).

Updates to the Cassini image database (see this thread for further details) are available at the following URLs for volumes coiss_2028, coiss_2029 and coiss_2030 respectively:

Lot of good stuff in this PDS release. Your summary page is very helpful, particularly before the new data becomes searchable on the PDS.
Here's a quick Saturn composite, just part of a sequence of color ring plane crossing Ian Regan animated back in the day:

"....There is heavy emphasis on the rings with lots of various movies including F ring movies, spoke movies etc. plus lots of multispectral coverage ..."

My recollection is that the Voyagers got surprisingly little multispectral coverage of the rings. Imaging sequences concentrated on things like phase and inclination angle, radial structure mapping, etc, followed by the big "spoke movie" from Voyager 2 after the Voyager 1 spoke discovery.

I think I recall that one mision (maybe Voyager 1), got only orange/blue or some such 2-filter moderately high rez color coverage of the rings. I suspect there was no expectation that the rings would have widespread color variation and only minimal effort to check for radial color variations was worth the data-bandwidth.

There is definitely a large body of high phase multispectral ring data from Voyager. I am not sure about data taken on approach.

I've made progress on my massive project to make the better images of the icy satellites more accessible to people. I'm not quite done with it -- I still need to sort out and format pages for Phoebe and the rocks, and have a bunch of introductory and explanatory text to write -- but for those of you who don't need any hand-holding to enjoy PNGified versions of every decent-sized icy satellite image in the PDS, here's the work in progress: Selected Data from Cassini's Cameras. I decided to post it now even though it's not done because I think MESSENGER may keep me too busy this week for me to do any more work on it for a bit.
