  • Comment - I usually support Hubble images, but somehow the unbalanced framing of this one puts me off - it is badly cut-off at the left. --Janke | Talk 09:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – very high resolution, aesthetics don't matter much in documentary photos. It shows pretty much the whole thing, the cut-off region is small. Bammesk (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I eyeballed it earlier to the infobox image. I now checked by laying the two images on top of each other (scaling and rotating). I figure if the nom image was 15% wider (on left) and 15% taller (5% on top and 10% on bottom), then it would pretty much cover the gaseous area of the infobox image. I can't disagree with your comments. About gallery use in the primary article, I had seen it and thought of moving it. I have now moved it up and added "high resolution" to the caption. Article editors will decide! Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 05:18, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
