Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/STEREO lunar transit of sun

Original - A lunar transit of the sun captured during calibration of Stereo B's Ultra Violet imaging camera's.

Alternative 1 - Original at 1024 x 768

Reason: The image captured during and for a calibration of the STEREO B satellites camera's is one that is rare and diffcult to take. The satellite had to wait 3 months following an orbital adjustment to be in the right position for this image. The static in the image is unavoidable by satellites imaging the sun due to the ionic particles, carried by solar winds, colliding with the camera. This is a truely spectacular image in a class of its own and unlike any other of the sun.

Support either The changes on the surface are as interesting as the lunar transit itself. Dhatfield (talk) 01:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although when in raw format it looks much better at full size, the cortado player seems to be struggling with the full size, which is why i used the medium sized image. This could be my computer or prehaps the conversion wasn't clean but the smaller version does play better for me at least. Let me know what it is like for other people.

Strong support large. Looks much better large; technical deficiencies in Cortado should not be a factor in the decision. Large should obviously be chosen over small. .froth. (talk) 16:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may also be a factor to do with the transcoding. I would download and play off your computer to check this. Seddσn ^talk ^{Editor Review} 17:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support big version - should the small one even be here? Isn't is a duplicate? BTW, I uploaded the big one at Commons. diego_pmc (talk) 20:44, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The small one was the original file i uploaded. I tested several versions, and settled for the smaller one due to conversion problems but if the larger one is better im morethan happy to do with that. Seddσn ^talk ^{Editor Review} 21:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
