A beautiful picture! Two minor corrections: 1) The imaging system on Cassini is the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS); SSI was the imaging system on Galeleo. 2) Titan is not "perpetually shrouded in clouds"; its surface is obscured by a haze (small organic particles, not unlike the skies of LA in the 90's. Clouds on Titan, in fact, are not incredibly common (see, for example, publications by S. Rodriguez, C. Griffith, E. Shaller, E. Turtle).
