Meanwhile, a little closer to the sun....

Some very nice views of Rhea, Dione and Enceladus to be had following periapse on this revolution.

Raws available here

Very nice views indeed

The Enceladus images look pretty interesting - the first and last clear filter images make a very good stereo pair. It might be possible to make a colorized stereo pair with the color filter observations, but the baseline is a bit shorter.

The whispy Dione, July 27 2015, my CL/IR3/GRN/UV3 stack, with the CL image sharpened:

Same thing with another image (rotated to provide a "flyover" perspective): http://s27.postimg.org/7hj45ioab/dione_irg...uly27_2015a.jpg
and from a different perspective: http://s3.postimg.org/3ux8nbig3/dione_irgr...ly27_2015ab.jpg (note the yellowish coluration in a crater wall)

Saturn's rings peek out from behind Dione in this shot: http://s13.postimg.org/7xs0kegvb/dione_irg...uly27_2015c.jpg

Dione's crazy "whispy" terrain: http://s8.postimg.org/thqlfqs5x/dione_irgr...uly27_2015d.jpg

Pleased with the result, despite some colour artifacts.
