Fensal and Aztlan Region
As Cassini continues its reconnoitering flybys of Titan, the imaging science team continues to improve its ability to tease out surface details hidden in the unprocessed images. This mosaic provides the best view yet obtained by Cassini's cameras, showing terrain on the moon's sub-Saturn Hemisphere -- the side of the moon that always faces toward Saturn. This mosaic has better resolution, both in pixel scale and from improved signal-to-noise, compared to previous views of the area. 
"Signal-to-noise" is a term scientists use to refer to the amount of meaningful or useful information (signal) in their data versus the amount of background noise. A higher signal-to-noise ratio yields sharper, clearer views of Titan's surface. 
The view is centered on terrain in the Fensal-Aztlan region on Titan, at 0,03° South Lat. and 22,18° West Long. The mosaic covers an area 3.500 Km (2.180 miles) North to South and 3.600 Km (2.240 miles) West to East. North is up.
