Hi Chris

Don't forget it's a completely different audience. IceInSpace is mainly enthusiastic amateurs or star gazers, whereas APOD is a mix of everyone - enthusiastic amateurs and a lot of general public who simply like looking at pretty pictures.

Enthusiastic amateurs know what they're looking at when they see a photo, and they would know if it's legitimate or not. Many of them may have even tried/or taken photos themselves.

The general public just wouldn't know so it's more likely they'll jump to conclusions etc.

Getting an APOD is quite a unqiue experience - enjoy the ride while it lasts!
