There is some great science candy on this pass:
QUOTE INMS: T32 will be the highest latitude Titan pass on which INMS will be in the driver’s seat as the prime instrument. It is the only pass that occurs close to midnight local time, on the ram side of Titan, while Titan is on the Sun lit side of Saturn. This is a magnificent opportunity for in situ science of Titan's atmosphere in this unique geometry.
• ISS conducts high-resolution (104-240 m/pixel) imaging & global-scale mapping of the bright-dark boundary. There will also be a full-disk, color mosaic (centered at 1.7 N, 219 W) at 1.4-1.6 km/pixel resolution. • VIMS carries out high-resolution mapping of Titan's north pole. Observations include global mapping and monitoring for temporal changes. VIMS will also carry out a hot spot and lightning search. • CIRS will continue to search for new species in the far-IR, in the far north. CIRS will also map temperatures in the upper troposphere across the north polar region, and in the stratosphere around approximately 1/4 of the disk. CIRS also gains the chance to map the distribution of aerosols on the limb in detail. • UVIS will observe a solar ingress occultation. ... |

Nice view indeed!
Which filters did you use to get this color view? |

Adiri and 'sliced carrot' - nice details emerging:

Anyone like to pinpoint Huygens here?

(I totally cheated and used the figure in Soderbloom et al., Planetary and Space Science 2007 VIMS and RADAR at Huygens landing site ASAP 200704014 as a reference  )-Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

QUOTE (CAP-Team @ Jun 15 2007, 10:13 AM) Which filters did you use to get this color view? None... that is, to be honest, all I do with those colour views is put the image into Photoshop, add some colour - add some red, mess about with blue and green - then play about with the Levels, shine a soft spotlight on the whole thing, and there you go... So, it's not even remotely accurate or realistic, it's just my way of highlighting details and features on the surface, done for no other reason than my own amusement and satisfaction. If some people like them, great. If not, well, they still go down great in my Outreach talks.

Yes. Staring at you With infrared eyes Your mysteries are well-concealed under your thick coat, but still we desire to know more to know you, not just as you appear Your realities, after all, must be more astonishing than our best guesses from furtive glances... Despite your coy, cold cloak we will know you through strenuous effort and precious, endless time someday -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
