The photo shows the discovery images of a new Saturnian moon, as registered on August 7, 2000, with the Wide-Field Imager (WFI) camera at the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope at the La Silla Observatory. This is a combination of three successive WFI exposures of the moon, S/2000 S 2 . Due to its motion, there are three images (to the left). Technical information: Combination of three 100 sec exposures in R-band filter, obtained at 15-min intervals. The field measures approx. 1.3 x 1.6 arcmin^2. The seeing was approx. 1.0 arcsec. North is up and East is left.
