[owlice]

Amir, yes, that is correct! Congratulations! How did you find it?

[Amir]

Thanks.
I tried your way of searching: using calendar & looking for colors/patterns that match with the crop

[BMAONE23]

I believe Crop 1 is from an image of Titan...Look there for solitude

[Amir]

now... who is responsible for the next one?
how about my idea, Chris, Paul and me each choose a crop. ha?

[owlice]

Amir, whatever anyone decides is okay by me! Congrats to all!

[Amir]

well, noone posted a new crop, so i thought i have the authority to post this one.
Identify the APODs which this images are cropped from.

Are you in there somewhere, Amir?

Would you point yourself out, please.

[Amir]

i decided to add another crop, just like previous number. i think it's so easy though.

[Amir]

ah.. people are becoming search monsters in here!

Are you in there somewhere, Amir?

no, i haven't been there yet. i'm planning to participate in marathon next year, wish me luck!

The first one's a no brainer:

[Amir]

let me ask something: does the crop have to contain the part that image it about?
for instance what if i had cropped some irrelevant parts of the car in the first image??

how did you find the 2nd one neufer?

As long as it's in the image, I think it's fair game.

how did you find the 2nd one neufer?

I found the second one quickly (but not before Neufer's post) using "amateur astronomer", and the first one with "meteorite".

Folks have gone both ways.

I don't think there are any real rules other than don't make it too difficult or too easy.

how did you find the 2nd one neufer?

I actually remembered it. It was quite unique.

Easy for you to say! Couldn't find it quickly and now have to go prod help the tall child to get some things done. ~~ sigh ~~

I got that one mainly from memory. Remembered the painting and its gaudy frame, and guessed this might be part of it. Searched on "painting" to get the exact APOD.

yes, it's also a unique event here. even if they decide to have a marathon each two month, same number of observers will take part. (i doubt it if it was each month!!) my friends have brilliant memories from this marathon.
some years ago when everyone was quite sleepy in the morning, they left one of the observers in the palace when going back!

yes, owlice. now that i think... it was kinda hard!

bah... that's not fair. NOW I DECLARE A NEW RULE: MEMORIES NOT ALLOWED_______! (don't take it seriously though!)
OK, go for #29.
