@Crisco 1492: Good question. This nom is in infrared but the FP is in filters like [O III] and (Ha), thus the image showing different compositions and quality. This is the way in which many astro FPs differ from each other, though the subject (sometimes, even perspective) being the same. Plus, you can't see the eye in the current FP.

Yeh, a vivid and wild one...But it's of God..you know..? The herald 06:51, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good suggestion, but I am not sure that'll cause any change in the quality of the pic. The herald 16:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it would change the quality of the image. But it would increase the EV for comparing the two. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 18:32, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
