OP, my data and translator seems to be normal, but I can not translate message to them. I remember that you are not do mistakes, that is why I try and try do it again. And again. My message structure is:

Code:

CHANNEL NUMBER, F
I
R
S
T
S
E
C
O
N
D
z69JZqlJn862D1ndx7oLVEMmV0lP1zewEeUCrsI7Roahzpeny7P

How did you even get to doing that? Doesn't make any sense given the source material.

ok like 55 minutes ago there was written under the 1 first OP post

*wow+crops

(also could have been *wow.jpg+crops.jpg)

We've completely ignored the Crops.jpg.

May I ask again: If somebody correctly aligned (and optionally cropped the non-changed parts, so the changed parts can be bigger) the original Crop.jpg and changed Crop.jpg can he please post it again so the differences can be examined. Thanks.

Note that our solution of Crops.jpg is what got us to Wow.JPG. We didn't just put it off to one side.

Sorry if I missed something, but can you remind me what was the solution to Crops.jpg? I don't remember we used anything from that image.

Was there something on Crops.jpg that wasn't translated?

Seems to me like we have to stick with the most obvious solution at this point...

Guys I have managed to extract 51 characters, which I believe requires major shifting and I don't know how to go about it Undecided

It would be unfair if this find goes to waste and I am sure most of yous want it and are tired of looking for it.

Nevermind....

You guys are looking at the wrong direction I think.

Gimme two mins to find my notes.

The correct overlay (xmp-points scaled [0;1]x[0;1]=>[0;3600]x[0;2974])

My impression is, that the confusingly stroked area (with the SETI signal) is irrelevant, it's also used for the password already. Attention should be payed for the channel number and the 51 bytes headlines and somehow the marked line on the right.

bump for this as well ^^ i guess you could say this is our progress today

Im stuck on just doing the old alphabet shift using the 0=0 A=10 a=36 thingy,

which im sure a lot of you have done, it has 2 characters in it that aren't valid, which gives
5CFPfwrPtEC8J7tj3DuRbKSsb6rV75k2KkaIxyoDXugn5vkt4DV
without them it's
5CFPfwrPtEC8J7tj3DuRbKSsb6rV75k2Kka xy DXugn5vkt4DV
the thing that stuck me is the wow jpg is all about rows/columns of 2 numbers and i've been trying to substitute numbers from the wow jpg into the gap.

but as usual, no joy, although i do feel like the clue is a priv key and we just need to figure out the conversion structure. I think i tried it with 0=0 a=10 A=36 too and instead of going z >0>1>2>3>4>5 i also did it going backwards but you always end up with at least one invalid character

Sad

The only other thing bugging me is that we used the WOW! to solve a clue but we never used the word BABY that was in there as well, I wonder why OP used that.
