 * Support. Probably the best black and white image of the moon available, at a good resolution. Mostlyharmless (talk) 04:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Why is this image not featured in Titan (moon)? smooth0707  (talk) 15:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. I added it to the Cassini-Huygens section; it seems better than the image at the top of the page, but I'll defer to the people working on that article.  Fletcher (talk) 22:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Support, and a question: Do Cassini's cameras not have color capability, or is the moon just this grey? Spencer  T♦C 22:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure. But a lot of "colours" are actually artist's concepts or false colour. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah they do. See page 84 of this article, which describes the on-board cameras in detail. MER-C 08:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the issue is that Titan has an opaque atmosphere (see Image:Titan_in_natural_color_Cassini.jpg). This image of the surface was presumably created at a wavelength capable of penetrating the atmosphere, and it's probably not technically possible to do so in true color.  -- Coneslayer (talk) 14:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Support, per Mostlyharmless. Based on a google image search this is one of the best overview images of Titan.  Fletcher (talk) 22:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
