[wonderboy]

Pah........ 3 days, mwuhahahahah.


I won't be able to post until friday, so I delegate it back to you (Wayne) to pick a good one. Either that or pass it on to someone else .


YAY, my first what is it!!!!!!

[Wayne]

Well done. Care to post how you found it?

[wonderboy]

I searched APOD with the word Galaxy and clicked on the first one that came up then used a keen eye. I took a couple of markers from your cropped photo like the distant galaxy with quite a bright star underneath it (middle top) and the blue hazy galaxy (middle right) and just kept an eye out for them.

[Wayne]

Anyone can take the next one, then.

[wonderboy]

I can't crop stuff at work, so I'm stuffed. I'm just glad I won and want my name added to the list and preserved for future generations.

[Amir]

can i post next one?

[wonderboy]

I give you permission and look forward to it. I love these things

[Amir]

[Amir]

Well, i'm so naive, i thought people would confuse it with nebula stuff!
Was it that obvious ,owlice?

[owlice]

Amir, I mainly look for colors/patterns. I thought it would be something Earthbound because of the lighting, but I first looked at the APOD calendar link and randomly picked a month or two. From that, I got the idea to search for volcano, and not finding any obvious matches, searched for rocket. The color -- that intense, bright light yellow surrounding white -- made it easy to pick out from those pictures.

It's quite a pretty crop.

Please feel free to post #23!

[Amir]

thanks owlice, i'll try posting a harder one.

[Amir]

here's number 23:

What is it? Space mystery object #23

Captain Obvious asked me to let evrybody know, that's a galaxy. Probably spiral one, too.

[Amir]

haha! seems that you have wise friends there, what does the other captain say about which APOD it has been cropped from?

[Amir]

i have a problem when i search images in APOD. it says "Found 500 items.Displaying 200 of them."
and there is no Next button to see other 300 items. why?

[makc]

he says, from unknown one

[makc]

oh well, what a hell...

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010510.html
one of over 400 items on apod search for "edge-on"

[owlice]

Oh, good, it's a race to the unknown!!

Never mind!

[makc]

Oh, good, it's a race to the unknown!!

Never mind!

ha ha. well, I will skip the next round then.

[owlice]

No, please don't; what fun would that be?!
