Hi all,
This is my animation of the entire transit of Titan + Titans shadow.
Mimas is very difficult to make out but is there. It is very close, almost touching, the southern edge of the ring plane. Mimas leads Titan and is moving at about double the speed.
Dione and Enceladus should also be visible, Dione, at 1,120 km across, is double the size of Enceladus 500 km across. They were relatively close together but Dione should be brighter. To see Dione you need to adjust your screens to just the right angle. It is visible under the ring plane to the right or West. Ounce you locate it, watch closely as it approaches the disk of Saturn and you will than see this satellite transit about half of the disk.
When the screen angle is such that Dione can be seen approaching and partially transiting the planet you should be able to pick up Mimas, it just takes some concentration.
This animation lasts only for a few seconds and continually resets.
A lot of effort has gone into this. It represents the motion of Saturn from 11:30 UTC to 16:00 UTC with "R" channel images captured every 10 min's.
For this animation I left out 4 images that did not come up as well as the rest and missed a perfectly good image, just didn't process that avi due to the effects of lack of sleep.
This animation uses the best 15,700 frames of the 39,250 frames that were captured.
