They're only just barely visible at 1024x768. It's easier to see them on the full-res version.
If you look at the one that's on the left side, above the rings, there's a fainter dot to the right of it, just near the rings. And the last one is in just about the same position on the right side of the picture.

No you didn't. I'm sorry, are you holding out until the market makes further progress, like me? I'm refusing to get a new desktop until at least the 4Ghz line is passed.
But if you zoom in, you can catch the moons, right?
EDIT: I found another one! You had to up the brightness a lot, but I got the seventh moon! It's actually in the middle of the picture. It's very low orbit, so I think it's Titan or Io. Seventh moon

I'm very much looking forward to the Huygens probe landing on Titan. I understand it'll take about 1,100 images on the way down and sample the air with six instruments all the way to the bottom. It'll release from Cassini on Christmas Day, and I b'lieve it'll cruise for 20-some-odd days before beginning entry. Exciting stuff.

It's creepy, I'm just re-reading Stephen Baxter's "Titan" which not only starts with Cassini-Huygens arriving at Saturn (God, did 2004 seem so long ago when I first read it years ago), but also early on features the losing of another Shuttle orbiter - guess which one. . .
