 * Support as nominator – — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:45, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – there is a round halo/shadow around the upper-left and lower-right of moon (visible at full size). Bammesk (talk) 13:13, 26 August 2017 (UTC) . . Sidenotes: given this FP of an older eclipse, I am hoping there is a better image out there. This gif is interesting:, added it to the article.
 * I don't think that's from the camera/photographer. Anyone got an explanation? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:49, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Support – not perfect but the EV makes up for it. Bammesk (talk) 13:52, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Chris, I don't think the extra halo/shadow is real. Other images don't have it, , (the last two were uploaded today). Also, in the nominated image the moon is compressed vertically, it is perfectly round in other images. I struck my vote for now, would support a better image.

 * Suggestion -- One might consider substituting the original with  in the above post (slightly cropped and/or rotated) - no halo, otherwise almost the same... --Janke | Talk 13:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
