Titan, from about 159.000 Km
This processed image from Cassini's Aug. 22, 2005, flyby of Titan reveals mid-latitudes on the Moon's Saturn-facing side. 
Provisional names recently have been applied to a number of features on Titan. Features within the Region seen here - long known informally as the "H" - now have names like Tsegihi, Aztlan and Quivira. 
The bright 215-Km-wide feature provisionally named "Bazaruto Facula" is clearly visible right of center, with its dark, unnamed 80-Km-wide crater at its center. 
This view was acquired with the wide-angle camera at a distance of approx. 159.000 Km from Titan using a spectral filter centered on infrared wavelengths at 939 nnmts. The image scale is 9 Km per pixel. 
Previous observations indicate that, due to Titan's thick and very hazy atmosphere, the sizes of surface features that can be resolved are a few times larger than the actual pixel scale.
