•  Oppose Given NASA's capabilities and other FPs of this type, I don't think this resolution gives us one of the finest images on Commons.--Peulle (talk) 08:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@Peulle: The only problem is that is not a NASA image, but was selected by NASA itself for their Astronomy Picture of the Day--Boothsift 22:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

•  Support This is not a NASA image, but an image from an amateur astrophotographer with an account on Commons (indeed, the same author as this, which I nominated a couple of weeks ago). As such, I think it's an excellent photo, and the best picture of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula on Commons. It doesn't quite reach NASA standards, but to do so would be impossible. It's still a superb and beautiful photograph, and close to the best that is realistically possible. The obvious advantages of NASA and others shouldn't preclude excellent amateur work in this genre becoming featured. Cmao20 (talk) 13:23, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support If it's good enough for NASA to select it as Astronomy Picture of the Day, it's good enough for me resolution-wise. Just looking at it as an image, it's gorgeous. --Cart (talk) 23:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
