Yup. Wow, that was quick. Maybe this is too easy.
Does anyone know of an easy way that people can post their answer, yet hide it, perhaps behind a mouse-over, so that others can continue to guess?

I went ahead and set the spoiler button to visible on the bbcode tag row.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Obviously, It's the
Doomsday Machine "Planet Killer" from the original Star Trek series

Yes, Mark is correct. Very good! The pictured area is a small region toward the right of the image just short of half way up. Mark got it in two hours -- and I thought that one might be too hard!
Mark, would you like to do the next one? Maybe we can have an informal rule where the winner gets to post the next mystery object (within a reasonable time frame). The other rule I would like to keep is that the image must be either a complete APOD image or an APOD image fragment, so that the answer can just be given as an APOD link. (Then people who don't know can just read that APOD to find out about the object.)

I like a challenge. And that certainly was one. New Game up.
Job Done.

It strongly resembles a cross between Vesta and Wild's Nucleus

Ok Mate.
You want a hint. No Probs.
It is one of four. And 72 miles across. The better Half.

You did post the correct answer first. Just remember, it has to be from an APOD, not some free association.
