I don't think that being an "artist's impression/conception" is on it's own grounds for opposing this. We're never going to have an actual image of our galaxy. There will always be the need to draw/render it. For it to have value it needs to be drawn for credible, recent and accepted information. These images do exist. I'd say the best one is
this which does all of the above, and comes from a reputable source.

I could probably get behind that annotated version, as it serves as a diagram and not just "this is the Milky Way". —

Support Alt 1 -- Happy to support that. Are images of our Galaxy that scarce? I understand that necessarily they are either images of the Milky Way or synthesis. Away most of today but I'll look through the APOD archives when I get back and if I see anything as good as Alt comment here. Cheers.

Yeh, sure I'll try through APOD. You'll get more images (from outside) till either you take them from outside (may be some Voyager 3 or like that) or some aliens may take a selfie with ours...:-) The herald 11:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)reply
Or we can call a drawing a drawing, mark it as a diagram, and nominate that. Should work much better. —
