While I haven't found an exact timetable, you can see
a petal plot and target summary he
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/operations/saturn-tour.cfm

It includes:

74 Orbits of Saturn
45 Close flybys of Titan
8 close "targeted" flybys of other satellites:
3 close flybys of Enceladus
Phoebe
Hyperion
Dione
Rhea
Iapetus
30 additional satellite flybys at distances less than 100,000
kilometers (about 62,100 miles)


Thanks, but I've already seen that. I don't think any of the approach
distances during this periapsis fall into the "nontargeted flyby" category
as they're farther than 100,000 km. Nevertheless, it still is possible to
get very good images (color would be nice, too . Something on the line of
that best Rhea image taken on July 2nd, or better...
Most of the moon stuff I've seen so far is black & white, usually magnified
2x or 4x. A spacecraft as capable as Cassini must be able to do better than
that!
