•  Info Evening shot of the telescope at Parkes, New South Wales, which was used to receive live televised footage of the moon landing.
•  Info created by CSIRO - uploaded by 99of9's bot - nominated by Thennicke -- Thennicke (talk) 05:16, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support despite an enormous filename -- Thennicke (talk) 05:16, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Great mood; I think it looks like some descriptive information was accidentally included in the filename and that should be easy to fix. Daniel Case (talk) 07:23, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Filename is fine and quite common for these bot-uploaded images that have to pick something unique (you won't get it renamed per Commons renaming policy unless it is actually incorrect). Good quality for a historical photo (if this was a NASA image, it would be full of JPG artefacts, but here we can see the film grain). -- Colin (talk) 09:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Not as big as recent images, but good quality and high EV. Yann (talk) 09:14, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
  • File:CSIRO ScienceImage 4350 CSIROs Parkes Radio Telescope with moon in the background.jpg is better. Yann (talk) 21:46, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Beatiful composition. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 09:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:29, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Good composition. I miss a little bit contrast (darkness). --XRay ^talk 13:53, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment I think this one shows more detail, even if it's oversharpened a bit. And it has a different crop, which is debatable of course. — Julian H.^✈ 14:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
  • I agree with Julian that the other crop is superior. It does look like the same base-photo, so Thennicke could nominate an alternative here if he wishes. In addition to the crop, as Julian notes, it is a little sharper and better contrast. -- Colin (talk) 16:42, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Very good. --Code (talk) 14:59, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

•  Info Seems to be made from the same material, higher resolution, more detail and more interesting composition. — Julian H.^✈ 08:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support — Julian H.^✈ 08:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Much better composition. But sky is pinky, WB is bit off. --Mile (talk) 08:11, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support big wow on the previous version but even more with the moon! - Benh (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Better version. -- Colin (talk) 11:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Ping Daniel Case, ArionEstar, Martin Falbisoner, Code, Laitche. -- Colin (talk) 11:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
• (Edit conflict)  Support Radio Telescope and moon... Great combination! --★Poké⁹⁵ 11:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support sure! Even better --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Laitche (talk) 13:58, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
