File:STEREO-A first images.jpg, not featured[edit]

Voting period ends on 25 Jan 2009 at 09:57:33
SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info First Solar Images from STEREO Telescope
  •  Info created by NASA - uploaded by NH2501 and sk (hi-res) - nominated by sk -- sk (talk) 09:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- sk (talk) 09:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Scientifically important. As a piece of scientific study, when this is viewed in fullest detail, it gives a fantastic view of the sun. Compare the views in different colours. It is brilliant for the information it gives. And note the Maunder Minimum in solar activity, which risks bringing a mini-ice-age if it continues. One drawback to this version. As a thumbnail the composition looks like a set of disco lights. It may work better as an animation, with each colour slowly replacing the other. To improve the artistic presentation, is it possible for sk to change the format to animated GIF, with only one coloured circle in the frame? -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 19:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose STEREO's special feature is the ability to provide a 3D view about the sun, which is not the case here. As well, the choice of false colors are rather confusing: it makes it difficult to observe the differences between different wavelengths, since the colors are not at the same brightness. Pictures should be combined (as I suspect, it's probably the reason why the sun is depicted in 4 different colours here) to make a full-color picture. --S23678 (talk) 05:13, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative 1 - animation example, not featured[edit]

Slower animation I have made this derivative of the original to show the possibility of presenting this as an animation as an alternative to the side-by-side candidate for FP. Slower because I also made a faster version.) So that it would not take too long (and run out of memory) I have done this at the minumum resolution to creep past the 2Mpx limit. The slight jitter, mostly on the orange comapred with the other colours, is due to limitations on my software to chop the version on Wiki Commons. Can someone do this with better precision, please? It would then be a possible candidate for Valued Images, in preference to Featured Images. -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
