Stunning selection of raw images from Cassini

Its one thing to send a craft to Saturn, but another to take one stunning image after the next. Here is a collection of some of my favorite images over the last 4 months. These images are “Raw” in that they have not been processed/cleaned etc. But I’d rather get the images early that have to wait months for perfection.  Enjoy the set of images.  Here is the link if you want to browse through even more images  (http://ciclops.org/)
