Might even print it out on our A0 plotter...........

bah you got me into astronomy all over again ... maybe i should have studied it after all

Cool!!
Thanks alot for sharing.i'll print this.

That is pretty awesome.
Wish I had a bigger printer than A4

thanks

going to print this out on several A4 papers and paste then together
it won't be perfect, but it'll be nice

I've put it on 6 sheets of A4 using Adobe Acrobat's tiling feature and some sticky tape

I don't get it. The sky is square? Ooh I just randomly looked out of my window and saw an RAF jet go by. :ernaehrun

If you look really closely on that pic, like, really, really closely.... just past the "Zone of avoidance" you`ll see the last guy booted off this forum for admitting to using a crack, slowly drifting outwards. His last reserves of air escaping from his lungs through his vocal cords sounding suspiciously like - "it`s a screenie from my mate`s PC.... honest"

Pretty cool pic tho. Nice one dan.

LOL

If you're into space, you really should check Celestia. It's bit like Google Earth/NASA World Wind, but for the whole universe.

I'd print this but as with all printers mine refuses to work for me. Alright for my sister who's pretty incompetant with PCs but it hates me.

Program lacks searching or it is at least not working, I did choose select object and then typed Vorlons but after clicking OK nothing happens illepall

Also my very hard search for Enterprise or Borgs did not come up with anything so maybe it is just broken?
