From diffraction-limited images produced by the near-IR camera NICMOS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope we derived maps of Titan's surface in the methane windows near 1.1, 1.6, and 2.0 micron. Each part of Titan's atmosphere and surface was imaged at least twice over a time period of 24 h to look for moving clouds.
