Rev 127 events also included cloud monitoring on Titan. The image below is one from a sequence taken on March 5 and indeed shows a cloud at a familiar latitude -40 South. Also highlighted is Kraken Mare, its southern arm extending down to between 50-60 N latitude.

Cloud movement and Titan rotation as seen from Cassini on March 5th (N00152290 @ 19hr50m UTC) and March 6th (N00152332 @ 03hr00m UTC). The -40 S latitude cloud appears to become more prominent and rotates east with respect to the slower rotating Titan surface. Photos rotated 90 degrees right and aligned with surface features to emphasize atmosphere cloud movement. North is at top with Kraken Mare well seen.

And look how clear the northern lakes are now!
Nice ones, Mike and titanicrivers.

Hmm ... Unfortunately looks like the cloud has rotated out of view on the followup Mar 9 Titan cloud monitoring image
