Rev 187 http://www.ciclops.org/view/7613/Rev187 April 22 images of Titan include the RED GRN and BL filtered images blended below. The Northern haze layer appears banded (somewhat broad dark-light, see arrow). The underlying surface feature near this questionable atmospheric band is Kraken Mare. ? Is this a weather effect or an artifact of my processing!?

The CL1 CB3 image of April 22, 2013 provided an unusually hazy view of the Titan northern anti-Saturn hemisphere. Kraken and some of the other N polar seas can be made out with a little bit of image processing and a cut and paste from PIA12811 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA12811. A Celestia grid, the figure from Ciclops looking ahead, the Solar System Simulator allows a localization of the bulk of Kraken between 50-70N and 300-330W. With the inclined phase of the Cassini Solstice Mission in progress and the N pole more fully illuminated great views of the polar seas and rivers (planned for Rev 190 later in May) are anticipated.
