Can you spot a third moon?

In this image, captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, Saturn’s moon
Enceladus appears above the rings and the moon Rhea is below. Where is
a third moon? Find the comparatively tiny speck of Atlas above and to
the left of Rhea – about two Rhea-diameters away – just above the thin
line of Saturn’s F ring.
This view – taken on September 24, 2015 – looks toward the unilluminated
side of the rings from about 0.34 degrees below the ring plane, at a
distance of approximately 1.8 million miles (2.8 million kilometers) from
the moon Rhea.
