The caption read "Ds9 with Galaxy class ship docked" - Is that right? I mean, the ship looks a bit weird to me...
(and yes, I know it�s upside down )

For some reason, it looks like the New Orleans model to me!

I think it could be a New Orleans! look at the pylons, they don't connect to the secondary hull where they should. Plus the nacelles themselves are too high. Having said that however, I can't see the dorsal "highlighter" pods.

the nacelles look pretty far apart to the saucer if its galaxy.. and also the secondary is pretty far forward
..any idea what episode this set-up was used for? All of the scenes with the E-D were at an upper pylon i thought.. was it the Venture, i dont recall seeing if it docked or not

Am I seeing things, or do the nacelles look to far back?
Could it be possible that someone either built a replica of the Kyushu, or used one that was hanging around (didn't they build 2 & destroy 1 in the first place? or was that the Melborne...) and slipped it in to a vfx shot? I really do hope so! It might be worth someone going through some ds9 footage & looking out for a galaxy saucer on the lower pylon. As I recall, the galaxies (E-D, Venture, Odyssey) tended to be at the upper pylons, not the lower.
Of course, I think I do remember a few shots in the 5th seasons on where large number of starfleet ships were present, and there may have been a Galaxy on a lower pylon ...

Nacelles look too far apart to be a Galaxy or an Ambassador, but i suppose Ambassador could be possible.. but if the shape under the saucer (and above the red object) is the secondary hull, the the ship is not tall enough to be an ambassador and has its 2ndary hull very far forward

In fact, that damn well may be an NO. Look immediately below the horizontal part of the nacelle pylon and there appears to be the aft tip of the secondary hull visible, quite far removed from the pylons.

Does anyone know when this pic was taken? If it was during "Emissary," then maybe the producers ut in the Ent-D model they used in the episode and hung it upside down on the pylon for fun. Or, if it is an Ambassador, the Yamaguchi model.

Actually, they shoot upside down. Thats why the station is upside down in that picture (i know that its hard to tell, but ops is pointy and the reactors are round and have struts).
Its easier to turn a model upside down and shoot it with the same camera position you shot the up shot from than it is to hover it over the camera...
