This is the
talk page for discussing improvements to the
Andromeda Galaxy article. This is
not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
This article is within the scope of WikiProject Astronomy, which collaborates on articles related to
Astronomy on Wikipedia.AstronomyWikipedia:WikiProject AstronomyTemplate:WikiProject AstronomyAstronomy articles
Added a new section, based on a new discovery associated with M31. As more is known about it, this will likely spin off onto its own page, but am adding here now as a placeholder. Is exciting stuff, and a great time to be alive.
The Andromeda Galaxy has a bar structure in its central region, though it is not as conspicuous as it is small and surrounded by a more prominent, boxy bulge (see
this paper).

@
Jackarrrr,
FlightTime, and
CactiStaccingCrane: In regards to Jackarrr's edit warring, I wanted to urge them to revert their edit warring and start a discussion if they continue to believe the other image is superior. For broader context, there is discussion
here already, and the previous user who insisted on edit warring over the image is now banned from editing this page.

I was looking at the history logs while I was just editing Andromeda galaxy, and I noticed that the new image by
Daviddayag was such a high quality image, so I thought it over, and just thought it would be more appealing to new readers on Wikipedia.
Ive read some other peoples reaction's, and I understand where some peoples opinion stands.
Also, after reviewing some comments, I understand that some people are very strong with where they stand, but
Daviddayag's image captured by his 11' telescope is not that different from ESA Hubbles image of Andromeda.

My main rationale for this picture is consistency. The processed images certainly do look great, but they are infinite ways of mixing and manipulating the color channels that I felt that it is not a image of a real object. Conversely, there's only one true-color version of Andromeda and is also the color that you will see if you have a clear filter in the telescope.

if you say that about you image, then wouldn't it be okay if your image was somewhere else on the article? With the original image, the description says he used Halpha to capture his Andromeda image. Its not like he just said it was captured by a normal telescope. He presented what he used and wasn't misleading.
Lack of consensus to change the image, as I explained originally. There was a discussion, and the user who was banned from editing this page tried to edit war for its inclusion. If it's going to be changed, it needs to be with a consensus first, rather than forced in through edit warring.

For an image choosen to represent the "true" color of the Andromeda Galaxy this isn't the right choise, as the galaxy appears brownish in color cameras and in the choosen image it looks blueish.
This image IMHO is a better representation of the galaxy. --
