Starship Asterisk*

Not that one.

is this the hubble deep field image?

Just looked at the deep field, and I remember looking at it, and now I feel stoopid. What a clown am I. theres about a bazillion galaxies in that photo. sorry

Wait a minute, I forget its cropped, it could be. let me check.

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!!!!!!

Well done. Care to post how you found it?

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.

Anyone can take the next one, then.

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.

can i post next one?

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

as wonderboy gave me the permission, I'm sending number 22:

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

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

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.

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

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?

he says, from unknown one

oh well, what a hell...

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

Never mind!
