Represented objects

In addition to Saturn, there are represented only the greater moons of 300 km of diameter (7 of the 57 identified until December 2006), and the rings D, C, B, A, F, G and E.

 
Saturn and moons maps**
Saturn
Björn Jónsson realistic map, made it with Voyager 1 and 2 and HST pictures.
Moons maps
Maps of Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus are realistic from Photojournal.JPL.NASA.gov black and white maps made with Cassini photographs. At the poles they have some fictitious additions to complete areas not covered with the photographs and the coloring is artificial, based on the Voyager 2 photographs. The Map of Titan represents the surface under the dense reddish atmosphere that covers the entire moon and is made from 4 mosaics of Cassini photographs in different spectra. The coloring is fictional, based on Voyager 2 photographs.
Rings maps
The D, C, B and A maps are realistic and are done from Cassini pictures.
The F, G and E maps are fictitious, done with a pattern from rings data.
