Query regarding Hubble Deep Field Image

Hi, you left a message on my talk page. I am a little confused about what you are asking me exactly. You wanted to obtain a "version of the original full size image" with my black point changes. Can you be more specific? That version is available as a picture of the day and you can view it full sized if you click it. Also, when you message someone on their talk page, you should 'sign' it by using four tilde's. Eg (~~~~). When you save the page, it turns them into a signature, with the current time, date and your wikipedia username. This was mentioned to you previously on this page by Vsmith. Anyway, please let me know on my talk page what you were requesting of me and I can try to assist. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Please sign every entry into a talk page with the four tilde's. It is rather impolite and frustrating for others if you do not. As for the original 100mb image, I'm sorry but no, I don't have that image. Can you point me to its location? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 16:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I see it now. I had a look at the image (or at least, enough of it to see the quality of the image, as I didn't feel the need to download all 60/100mb of it) and you are right. The noise is excessive and I don't think any extra detail is available in that image compared to the one available on wikipedia. Everything is a bit bigger, but quite soft. If you have a real need for a reduced noise/blackpoint version of this image, I could do it, but I personally don't think it is necessary for wikipedia.

I agree, it is definitely a scaled down version of it. From memory, each of the dimensions are halved (Eg the original NASA image is 6200x6200 and the wikipedia one is 3100x3100). The question is whether this really matters since the original is so soft, and the answer is, at least for me, that it doesn't. The wikipedia version has all the detail that the original does, only sharper. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 06:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

In response to pulsar spinning speed information

Hi.

the 4-5 Earth radii is the radius of the orbit of the thing, not its own radius! The pulsar itself is much smaller (maybe 10km)

best wishes
