Miscellaneous Rare Pics and Perhaps Unique Movie Sequences
wonderous indeed..thanks!

It's cloudy here, and Cassini hasn't (IMO) been so stimulating lately,
so I thought I'd rummage through some old raw images I grabbed awhile
back from the constantly changing raw picture pages on the Cassini
site, some of which may no longer be available on the Cassini site:
Perhaps they don't have this one because it's hard to classify, but it
looks nice

I liked the way the ring shadows played against Saturn in this next
one
http://www.setisociety.org/saturnW00012429.jpg
This next one you can find this next one on the Cassini site, but
probably not raw
http://www.setisociety.org/TethysN00047244.jpg
Not the prettiest (which is why you might not see on on the Cassini
site) but I like the way the exposed the dark side on this next one
http://www.setisociety.org/tethysN00037656.jpg
and checkout the cracks on this one
http://www.setisociety.org/N00047224.jpg
Over the years I've posted a couple of astronomy pics and animations
in gif format and now that windoze has killed my gif player (even when
I check "play animations" in the browser) I've redone the following as
windoze movies from the raw images, which are perhaps less lossy
looking:
Mimas moving with the Saturn's rings in the background

An this next one, which was taken on Cassini's approach to Titan
http://www.setisociety.org/approachingTitan.wmv
There is a better processed version of this Mimas approach someplace
on the Cassini site, but this jumpy/annoying one I made from raw
frames as they came in from the spacecraft
http://www.setisociety.org/approachingMimas.wmv
This next was Dione, but I don't remember the other moon:
http://www.setisociety.org/DioneConjunction.wmv
Here is an Epimethius conjunction in raw frames (perhaps that is water
ice/snow on the leading edges of the moons that is swept up while
orbiting, maybe from Enceladus?)
http://www.setisociety.org/EpimetheusConjuntion.wmv
And finally, here's a sequence of SOHO frames I put together of comet
Bradfield passing the sun (I didn't see this on the the SOHO comet
movie page, but this comet had wow-factor!)
http://www.setisociety.org/COMETBRADFIELD.wmv
Hopefully somebody here hasn't seen some of the above or finds them
interesting. It's cloudy out, and it was something Astronomy-related
for me to do Astronomy-wise (ie. sequencing the shots in movie-maker
and scrounging for oldies-but-goodies.)
Enjoy, Jason H.
