mmcirvinCassini's latest infrared picture of Titan's surface clearly shows the dark feature called "the Lying H" by European Southern Observatory astronomers.
That's also a useful sanity check on their coordinates. Earlier, I'd thought they might be mislabeled, but that was because I mistook the brightest feature on the ESO map for the bright feature in Hubble maps called "Xanadu". But Xanadu is actually in the longitude gap not well-covered by the ESO map.
