I've been lucky to have made a few friends at NASA who've helped me locate many original photos. I'm dumping all images of Saturn that fit the oddly unchanging parameters of /hr/.
Regarding these first two images, I made a short movie out of a few hundred raw images taken by the Cassini probe. I figured I'd share it, as it is relevant.

Now I'm sharing them in order of file size starting with the largest. Don't bother posting any Saturn photos. I have them all, and I'll be dumping them here for anyone who wants them. Just give me time to upload them.
Last one for now, but I still have 105 images to go.

These are spectacular, can't wait to see the rest!

Have your buddies at NASA ever been to Devon Island, Canada?

My favorite part:
"Getting the colors right is not an exact science," says Bell. "Giving an approximate view of what we'd see if we were there involves an artistic, visionary element as well – after all, no one's ever been there before." However, great pains are taken to be as accurate as possible, short of going there ourselves.
To give people a sense of being on Mars, scientists combine views through telescopes, data from past Mars missions, and new information from the current mission to create a color-balanced, uniform scene. Color-corrected mosaics simulate the view a person would see if all the images in the mosaic were taken on the same day, at the same moment.
In addition, the rovers can take three pictures in a row of the same surface area on Mars using three different primary color filters – red, green, and blue – to make one color image. "It works a little like an inkjet color printer, which combines primary colors to create various shades on paper," explains Eric De Jong, Lead for the Solar System Visualization Team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Then, we can tweak the color just like you can adjust the color balance on a TV screen at home." — NASA, JPL

That site should be changed to humansaremorons. Had a good chuckle

While I sort through the rest of these, here's a playlist of videos I made using the raw data from Cassini. Each video is made from anywhere between 20 photos up to about 1000. The tricky part is making sure the photos are in the right order before you render.

your dedications always appreciated:) Enceladus and Tethys line up almost perfectly for Cassini's cameras
Cool
Bump for viewing pleasure.
