Enceladus Transit 4/24/08 9:01pm (1:01UT)

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Steve,

I posted a reply to your image on the CN forum. Do you have other images close to this time that you could share? It might be helpful to look at them.

Although the location is good, it doesn't seem likely to me that Enceladus would be captured with this contrast and resolution, given the contrast and resolution of the rest of the image. I've included a comparison image from March 23/ 12:27EDT. I am not sure that Enceladus has been recorded in this image - it's location would be just to the left of the shadow of Tethys (indicated). You can see lots of light and dark moon-like spots that are actually noise from push processing this small (@200) stack.

best regards,
Alan

Wonderful image Stefan. I have trouble with the maiden, but in this light, Prom. LaPlace has the look of a Chinese horse sculpture, its nose rising up out of the mare... maybe?

cheers,
