S/2004 S 6 is the provisional designation of a dusty object seen orbiting Saturn very close to the F ring. It is not clear whether it is only a transient clump of dust or if there is a solid moonlet at its core.It was first seen by scientists in images taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe on October 28 2004 and announced on November 8 that year. It appears to be the best tracked object in this region with at least five probable sightings in the period to late 2005.
