 * OK, it was undeleted. Having a look at it, it is rather grainy and has an odd linearity to it (5/10 o'clock positions). Is this a keeper? MER-C 07:32, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I think we need to be careful here: If images from the best X-ray telescopes currently in existence are all going to be judged inappropriate for Featured picture status, we may set an unfortunate trend of actively excluding certain important forms of information. That said, unless we have sources discussing information found in the X-ray image that is not in the replacement image, then this time, I'd support delist and replace.

 * Can the proposed replacement be cropped from the bottom slightly? There seems to be some yellowing dust-type stuff that I'm not quite sure are stars and stuff in a line at the bottom.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 01:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I think the Chandra image is technically better, as in it provides better science and detail of the structure of the object. I also agree with Shoemaker's Holiday that this is an image from the best x-ray telescope in current existence. Not all images produced from these are going to be Hubble crisp, specifically when they're very distant, just as distant objects with Hubble look very grainy and bad as well. For scientific astronomic images we should be more forgiving of the technological limitations and rate it on scientific, encyclopedic and educational value more. So from that standpoint the Chandra image provides far more science and detail of the object. — raeky ( talk 14:11, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
