Scientific paper

The innermost of Saturn's classical satellites, Mimas and Enceladus, have historically proven challenging observing targets for Earth-based telescopes due to their proximity to the bright planet and rings. Since the ring plane crossings in 1995 and 1996, in preparation for the upcoming Cassini mission in 2004, the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide-Field Planetary Camera (WFPC2) has been monitoring the Saturn system at each opposition as well as near quadrature each year. This observing program has provided numerous images of Saturn's classical satellites in each of the five WFPC2 wideband UVBRI filters (F336W, F439W, F555W, F675W, and F814W) and occasionally in the F255W, F785LP, and F1042M filters at solar phase angles between 0.26 deg and 6.4 deg.
