Hubblesite has some huge files for download, some over 100 megs. They can be printed very large. http://hubblesite.org/gallery/printshop/step1.php (those are preset sizes for downloading and printing) http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/galaxy/pr2005001a/warn/ You can see here, the file size is huge. You could print that much larger than a poster. Most local print shops can print these if you bring them in on a flash drive or cd. Just make sure the monitor and printer are calibrated right so the images come out how they look on the screen. Cheers David On 3/9/2010 9:53 AM, Ann Blanchard wrote:
I'd love to get a large poster or photo of, perhaps, the Andromeda galaxy to hang in my living room. By large I'm thinking around 32 x 24 or larger. I realize that the more the picture gets enlarged, the less sharp it can be, so I wonder if any of you folks have ideas where to look. I'll try the Clark Planetarium (they said they don't have many) and I found a site on the web, allposters.com, that looks good, but I don't know how they would actually turn out to be . Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
