• Oppose This is a useful image, but the resolution isn't particularly high by modern standards, and for some reason the southern portion of NZ's third island, Stewart Island / Rakiura, isn't in shot. Nick-D (talk) 02:03, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per Nick. Copernicus has much higher resolution. MER-C 15:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per Nick-D, it would also be good to see an image with fewer clouds. (t · c) buidhe 13:26, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
