  • Support – Delicious! --Janke | Talk 09:39, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist File:Saturn from Cassini Orbiter (2004-10-06).jpg and replace it with this image -- same subject, essentially same composition but this image has superior EV due to the presence of moons. The nominated image has supplanted File:Saturn from Cassini Orbiter (2004-10-06).jpg (which is now relegated to the Saturn navbox) in many of the articles it appears in, including Saturn itself.

    If consensus is not to delist and replace, I support this image as a second preference. MER-C 14:16, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - lower resolution than the other mentioned by MER-C, but appears crisper and includes 5? moons. High EV. Chris857 (talk) 17:06, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support new nomination, oppose delist and replace. The earlier FP has plenty of educational and technical quality by today's standards, and unlike the new nomination it shows shadows on the planet's surface from the rings. --Pine 19:25, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (revised vote) – as is. File size is 325KB, it is too small for a 4613x2233 pixel image. But conditional Support if the 30.9MB TIFF original here is converted to jpeg (much larger file size) and uploaded to Commons. Bammesk (talk) 01:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done - now in highest jpeg quality, file size now > 2 MB. --Janke | Talk 08:14, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace per MER-C. We shouldn't have multiple FPs if one is no longer used in any article outside of the navbox. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Changing to support, since both images now used, per Bammesk's comments. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:51, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and replace Agree with Paul_012, we should not have 2 featured pictures of the exact same thing. Mattximus (talk) 21:51, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I added the image File:Saturn from Cassini Orbiter (2004-10-06).jpg to the two articles listed above. I am for keeping it as FP if the image stays in the articles. According to JPL's description [1], it is the highest resolution (most detailed) image of the planet-and-rings that has been produced. Also 1) it shows the very faint outer F-ring, which is not visible in the nom image, 2) it shows the strong shadows cast on the planet by the rings (upper hemisphere).
