Comment - I usually support Hubble images, but somehow the unbalanced framing of this one puts me off - it is badly cut-off at the left. --Janke | Talk 09:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support – very high resolution, aesthetics don't matter much in documentary photos. It shows pretty much the whole thing, the cut-off region is small. Bammesk (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bammesk: It's only used in a gallery in Tarantula Nebula. I think I can Support it based on Starburst region, but for the "Tarantula Nebula", not so much. It's also more cut off than you'd think if we're talking about the nebula, but for the starburst region, again, it's fine.

I eyeballed it earlier to the infobox image. I now checked by laying the two images on top of each other (scaling and rotating). I figure if the nom image was 15% wider (on left) and 15% taller (5% on top and 10% on bottom), then it would pretty much cover the gaseous area of the infobox image. I can't disagree with your comments. About gallery use in the primary article, I had seen it and thought of moving it. I have now moved it up and added "high resolution" to the caption. Article editors will decide! Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 05:18, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
