Triangulum nebula full[edit]

The Triangulum Emission Nebula NGC 604 lies in a spiral arm of Galaxy M33, 2.7 million light-years from Earth. This nebula is a region in which stars are forming.

Although slightly cliched for a featured picture, I think this picture has great visual and encyclopaedic qualities, and would make a great featured picture. This picture appears in the nebula article. I'm not sure about its clarity though.

  • Nominate and oppose support withdrawn - lets wait for a better nebula picture then hey? - Michaeln36 11:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose Despite being very encyclopedic and interesting, it has many visual flaws. The square of higher detail in the upper right and the christmass tree light look of the starts detract from it in my opinion. Astronomical photos can be alot better.

  • Oppose The dark rectangle is a small irritation but such missing areas are fairly common in astronomical photos. What rules it out as FP for me is what I think is serious grain on the highest resolution version of this pic (I don't think they're all stars!) - Adrian Pingstone 17:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It looks like it was scanned on a dirty scanner.Nnfolz 15:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Per Adrian Pingstone. --Tewy 00:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose as others. If you want a really good nebula shot, I'm uploading a 6K version of STSci's recent Orion Nebula composite, and could nominate that next. --Davepape 19:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
