 * Oppose I believe this pic is copyright and permission has to be sought to use it. Has this been obtained? Have a look at the source (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021021.html) where the important words are Credit and Copyright:Robert Gendler  That does not sound like PD!

 * Support if copyright status is cleared. Fantastic image. --Fir0002 08:52, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Many galaxies are beautiful, but this I don't think is anymore special than any other. A picture I believe is less ordinary, and which I suggest we promote instead, is the Sombrero Galaxy. That one is also available as JPEG or TIFF, both in a gigantic resolution (11472×6429), creating a whole little world to explore. Jonas Olson 10:53, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If you want it promoted, nominate it. -- brian0918  &#153;  19:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * OK. What do you say about the higher resolution, should we get that one first? The JPEG is 7.12 MiB large. Of course, if anyone else wants to promote this image, and perhaps knows their way around here better than I, feel free to beat me there. Jonas Olson 15:10, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It is already a featured picture :-) Image:M104_ngc4594_sombrero_galaxy.jpg. Uploaded the big JPEG onto Commons Image:M104 ngc4594 sombrero galaxy hi-res.jpg if you want it to use --Bricktop 18:02, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Agree with Jonas Olson --Bricktop 23:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Although we all tend to say wow to pictures of galaxies, I would think that a picture needs to have something special to get it approved. Enochlau 12:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This image definitely has copyright problems. It is originally from Wikimedia Commons at this link which also has a copyright violation notice posted as of 24 April 2005. CoyneT talk 01:03, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Great pic folks. - Darwinek 17:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
