Another Cassini encounter with Titan happens on March 6th. Lots of activity even before then as presented here: http://www.ciclops.org/view/7821/Rev202?js=1
During Rev 202-Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) gravity pass the spacecraft points its high-gain antenna at Earth so that researchers can observe changes in Cassini's signal caused by Titan's gravity.

Some distant views of Titan from 2/22/2014 have come down. The animated gif combines an enhanced CL1 CB3 showing the squiggly monster sea Kraken and the RGB images N00220665-7.

Final ISS observations from Rev 202 highlight the N Polar upper haze layer. The UV3 image N00222165 is used as a ‘blue’ filter in the color composite. The upper haze seems to have a variation in color (? density or composition) that correlates some with the underlying N polar lakes and the brighter evaporite surrounding the lakes. A Celestia grid and the Solar System Simulator provides the approximate view of Titan from Cassini (at 1.7M km). The surface feature image (N00222158-CL1 CB3) is enhanced a bit (utilizing Photoshop Elements and Ian’s Feb 2-2014 image from Rev 201).
