Flip it 180 degrees; slightly more comprehensible, but still bizarre!

A couple of Enceladus mosaics. Looks like most of the terrain imaged in high-res yesterday was near the equator, which made a nice mosaic.

I'm estimating the resolution of the mosaic on the left to be somewhere between 70-100 m/px, while the image of Dunyazad and Shahrazad is somewhere around 60 m/px. I lined up the images with the global map of Enceladus at bottom right, you should be able to see the image footprints in the full-resolution version.

Cassini also got a nice mosaic of Enceladus lit up with Saturnshine on the way out:

The wide angle camera lens is sure getting dirty after all these years in flight.

Enceladus is in the middle of the image.

My last Enceladus!

This is an experimental anaglyph of Enceladus' snowman craters. They were imaged by Cassini on October 14, 2015.

The elevation information (DEM) was generated using shape from shading (SFS) and isn't very accurate but this looks rather realistic anyway. The DEM could be made much more accurate if SFS could be combined with stereo but as far as I know no good stereo pairs of these craters exist.

I spent a while trying to make a stereo pair from the images that Cassini returned last week and am rather glad to hear that you couldn't get any useable stereo information out of them either smile.gif

I co-registered the CLR, IR, GRN and UV frames semi-automatically, using ImageJ's handy 'StackReg' plugin.

Very nice work Ian.
