Ah, i see. I thought the Moon was unresolved within the dot, not the faint dot to the left. :(



To be fair, the Earth-Moon separation as seen from Saturn is about one arcminute, just at the limit of the angular resolution of human eye. To a human they wouldn't be discernible as separate objects. Cassini's camera has a much narrower field of view.
