Comment The source link ([1]) mentions a 24 403 x 13 973 pixel mosaic image available through Stéphane Guisard. Now that would be great to have on Commons. Anyone know how to contact him? -- JovanCormac 14:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I think we should put this FPC on hold until Stéphane Guisard has been contacted and replied. --Aqwis (talk) 15:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Resolution is above the 2 megapixels requirements, we can still vote. The resolution is a different matter and we can deal with it despite this nomination. Diti the penguin — 20:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree. This should be promoted regardless of the bigger image that we might get. Btw, the website makes a weird claim about the mosaic being a gigapixel in resolution, when 24000x14000 pixels is actually only 0.3 gigapixels. Am I missing something? -- JovanCormac 22:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - The claim is based on 0.34 gigapixel per color channel as there is one exposure per channel. /Daniel78 (talk) 23:07, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ahh, that makes it clear. Thank you. -- JovanCormac 09:07, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Stéphane Guisard has a WIKIMEDIA account if you want to talk to him. Looks like he doesn't use it that much. The 24 403 x 13 973 mosaic can be found at Stéphane Guisard's website but it is copyrighted.
