Question - What does this illustrate that the current FP doesn't? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:09, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Good question. This nom is in infrared but the FP is in filters like [O III] and (Ha), thus the image showing different compositions and quality. This is the way in which many astro FPs differ from each other, though the subject (sometimes, even perspective) being the same. Plus, you can't see the eye in the current FP.

Support it can complement each other. This one is almost better too, clearer. Hafspajen (talk) 23:18, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't think we always use these images as well as we should in articles, but this is a very useful image in astronomy. We just need to do a better job explainig what each type of image shows. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:38, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support --The eye does seem more vivid in the current nom.--Godot13 (talk) 05:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh, a vivid and wild one...But it's of God..you know..? The herald 06:51, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There may be some value in rotating one of these images 90 degrees to match the orientation. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 00:40, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion, but I am not sure that'll cause any change in the quality of the pic. The herald 16:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it would change the quality of the image. But it would increase the EV for comparing the two. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 18:32, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
