I voted for the Spiral...I can just sit here and imagine it rotating before my eyes

NGC3372 is incredible. It takes my vote. Its APOD worth no doubt. Resolution is insane considering its a 6 panel mosaic! Awesome.
Thanks

Re: Poll: Recent Submissions #12 -- Out of this World
After much hemming-n-hawing and indecision, I finally cast a vote for the last picture - NGC3372.
But I'm always at war with myself with deciding among items that appeals to the child in me (NGC 2841 - Spiral Galaxy in Ursa Major), the artist in me, as minimal as that might be (Trifid & Lagoon Nebulas and M21) and that picture that causes me to try to understand more about space distances/sizes with an appreciation of the photographer's effort (NGC3372).
I'm in awe of what these astro photographers do with personal equipment!!!

Although it was a very hard choice, I voted for #3 because of the odd shape of the galaxy!

Just came across this post...shame voting has already closed
If I had the opportunity, I would have voted for NGC3372. Its a lovely imaging show spacial distance between infamous objects of the southern sky.
