@IanARegan Ian, may I use your color pic in a blog post for tomorrow? I'm writing it now. Also, how did you apply the color? Thanks!

@BadAstronomer Phil, please be my guest! I used the IR & Green frames: UV one suffered with motion blur, so the blue channel is synthetic.

@IanARegan Thank you!

@IanARegan @ridingrobots That’s staggering. I’m reeling looking at this. Wow.

@BadAstronomer @IanARegan Swooning here. You can almost see the icy spray of individual ring particles...

@ridingrobots @IanARegan That ultra narrow ribbon though. Can’t be even a kilometer wide. I’d love to read about that.

@BadAstronomer @ridingrobots @IanARegan Did quick estimate - image scale is about 80m/px, so that ribbon is something like 150-200m wide.

@IanARegan Beautiful! Did you process this one?

@IanARegan we on the Cassini team performed a last minute pointing update to make sure this image was captured.

@SCSilk That's great to hear! Please do convey my thanks and appreciation to the Cassini team for all of their hard work behind the scenes.

@IanARegan Love this, just like being-right-there. Can I take it to woo friends in FB? with proper credits of course.

@IanARegan Why is it stretched? Are those visual distortions or did some fucker squeeze Daphnis?

@Antipaganda @IanARegan I'd like to ask the same! Is that the shape of the Moon, or some sort of distortion? My guess is the first option.
