This set of frames is towards the end of the captures I took last night.  Tethys and shadow are visible in most of the frames approaching the eastern limb with Tethys on the limb in the final frame.  During this time Enceladus is near the western limb with the shadow starting on the limb at the beginning of the animation.  Frankly, if you know where it is you can tell it's resolved but the noise level is such that it's difficult at best to see anything but a couple of fleeting glimpses of it.  Hopefully, some WinJuPOS magic will bring it into better visibility, especially if I turn up the moon mask to two or three pixels so WinJuPOS and mark the location for us (hehe)
