Like hunters sighting a clay duck flying fast in the sky, this mosaic of Cassini images was made from 'skeet shoot' narrow-angle images 1, 2, 3, and 4, all captured during the Oct. 31, 2008, flyby of Saturn's moon Enceladus.

The resolution of this mosaic is 12.3 meters (41 feet) per pixel and jet source VI (see PIA08385 ) is identified in the upper right.
