I think you;ve been sneaky in flipping it. And I think its quite a close crop due to the grainy nature of the photo, so this one makes sense to me.

Paul - I remember that APOD you chose, but alas, it is not the one

Also, Chris interpreted my original post correctly (thanks, Chris, for jumping in), I did not do anything sneaky - I only cropped the original, and I checked the pixel count was not reduced in the uploaded attachment. Believe me, the last thing I want is to alienate myself from the forum members and be known as a slimy, dishonest so and so.

Alright, I've played your game... now where's mah cookie?

Bingo! Nice job! Heck, I'd say you deserve at least two cookies!

Well done Geckzilla, i sat for blinkin ages going through the random Apod generator on mystery object 24. I can't wait for the next one I get because I have a great one lined up.

You can't beat an ASDA cookie geckzilla.


Paul.

You guys most assuredly have way to much time on your hands

This post is what keeps me goin when I'm at work

Thats why I get annoyed that it isn't kept up to date as much as it should be.


Paul.

It is up to date though, I don't know why no one is guessing it.

I guess I made it way too easy because alter-ego basically already answered it but he put it in a spoiler tag.

I know what this one is! Ive seen it before, give me 5 minutes.

Paul.

Not even 5 minutes Geckzilla




Paul.

Your turn, Paul. Post an APOD clip to a New Topic:

What is it? Space mystery object #39.

I think this is toughie, But I may eat my words


Paul

Sorry about the size, I had to use an online editor to get it cropped. Its only a crop and nothing else dodgy.


Paul.

It is done Bystander! I hope someone gets it quick, because I'm 2nd out of the whole board for getting these things, only Owlice is perched above me on 7 correct answers . I'm on 6.


Paul.

Actually, only five. I wouldn't count guessing your own.

Everyone struggling? I'll give a clue....


The difference between this photo and my other ones is "night and day"


Paul.

I thought it was the Belt of Venus in this image (incorrectly) but only found 1 APOD that is similar

I also assumed that's what it was, but a cursory search didn't turn up any matching APODs.

This is my best contender so far.

So far BMAONE23 is closest, but not for reasons which you may think.


Paul.

Deleted by myself

The rules are to provide a crop of an APOD or the click thru image. The only resizing permissible is due to the difference in resolution size of the APOD image and the original click thru image. The image must be from an APOD. The object, then, is to guess which APOD.

That image is not an APOD. It is found in a page linked from this APOD, but that isn't an allowable mystery image.

I thought something was fishy about this one..
