Info created and uploaded by Jamen Percy - nominated by me -- Thennicke (talk) 08:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Support -- Thennicke (talk) 08:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)- Support --Yann (talk) 10:39, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support Identifying technical flaws would be very easy. I just don't - but go ahead and enjoy an interesting image. The composition is excellent and colors are vivid. Great idea and successful execution. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:24, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Technical flaws are there unfortunately. Charles (talk) 13:43, 4 June 2017 (UTC)- Support per Martin. Could easily be used to illustrate some "space cowboy" online game or a sci-fi novel. --cart-Talk 15:02, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support Daphne Lantier 19:35, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose It's tilted --Pudelek (talk) 22:44, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support Image quality is pretty good for astrophotography. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:03, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose and CA also --Mile (talk) 06:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others. Nice wow factor, though.--Peulle (talk) 13:28, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Mild Support per others, especially Martin and cart. Yes, the photo has shortcomings, but I think that when we see a photo with this much wow, we should feature it, rather than holding it up against an ideal that we aren't being presented with. And let's keep in mind that this is a very large file. It looks quite good at full screen, and despite its shortcomings, it's still impressive at 50% of full size. And what a great composition! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:05, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support per cart. I couldn't help but hear that Steve Miller Band song, too, when I first saw this (yet another instance of the two of us thinking the same thing). Daniel Case (talk) 22:42, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Comment - What a cool song! I think you're a few years older than me, perhaps my brother's age (b. 1958) but maybe born in the early 60s. However, I share some of your taste (for example, I've liked pre-commercial Yes and Chicago since the early 70s). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:42, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment just an aside for anyone interested: Jamen won astrophotographer of the year in 2015 for the aurorae category -- Thennicke (talk) 02:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:59, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support Wow. Technical quality seems pretty normal for this kind of image. The halo around the silhouette is pretty strong, but I guess that's at least in part due to the 30s of exposure (you'll never be able to stand perfectly still that long). --El Grafo (talk) 09:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support - seems easy enough to clean-up the specs (what appears to be lens specks on left) but love this image! Atsme 📞 14:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry no, due to technical flaws like CA, unsharpness of the space cowboy and chromatic noise. Excellent composition though. Disappointing, I would say.--Jebulon (talk) 16:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- ...and vignetting.--Jebulon (talk) 16:16, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support as per other supporters Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support per El Grafo et al. -- Colin (talk) 11:44, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Question Would somebody who knows a thing or two about the night sky be able to put notes on the image labeling the nebulae? -- Thennicke (talk) 08:04, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
