Support Historically significant, and the composition is just perfect. -- Yann (talk) 21:50, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm sorry, but there are several dust spots on this photo. They should be cleaned before we feature it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:40, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Could you please add a note? Yann (talk) 10:45, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later, but there are a bunch of them. Just look across the sky. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:46, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think I cleaned them all. I also made a very slight contrast adjustment. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:27, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question I find the overal exposure a bit dark, the histogram has a sizeable gap in the highlights. BugWarp, does this represent the light of that day faithfully? – Lucas 08:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lucasbosch: Don't know, I just upload it.--BugWarp (talk) 13:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support for its historical importance, but I've seen better rocket-launch photos with a more interesting composition in the past. Cmao20 (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is a ccw tilt (see sea level), with that fixed it is a FP to me but I've to say that the left crop is not the best, --Poc o² 20:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The spots are gone, but there is now a sliver of white frame on the left. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:43, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, due to the tilt correction,...--Poc o² 11:38, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OOps, fixed. Yann (talk) 13:21, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Thanks for fixing that. I still see at least 4-7 dust spots, depending on which is a blotch or not. One is just to the right of the upper left corner. Another, even fainter, is a bit below and slightly to the right of that. One is almost due left of the nose cone. Another is almost directly to the left of that, just a hair up; there is another diagonally down and to the right of that and two others to the left and slightly up from that one. I realize that these are all quite subtle and you may feel like you're chasing phantoms in the end, but try making another pass over the image. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:16, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I could only find 2 of what you mentioned. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:27, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno, some to the left of the nose cone are pretty obvious on my monitor. They're not so clear I feel impelled to oppose, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:39, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Could you please add a note? Yann (talk) 09:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I tried, but I can only approximate because I can't see the dust spots at the tiny thumbnail size I have to use to insert the notes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do what you can. In the meantime, I Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:05, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
