Hi all,

don't forget tomorrow's next Titan flyby at ~1500 Km distance that will lead to hires photo imaging of a new region, as indicated here

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA06219

the close flyby takes from about 19:30 ...20:30 UTC, with time of closest approach 20:05 UTC.

Note that also a more northern region will be mapped.

Here is a Celestia view of the new area to be hires-mapped around 19:30 UTC using my new 4k Titan texture:

Matt,

looks very interesting. What's your feeling: is the violet upper atmosphere color apparent in visible light or not? The previous statements by CYCLOPS were clearly that it is only appearing after severe image processing and application of suitable filters...
