Where to buy large astronomy photos or posters
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?
Allposters.com is a great site for posters. They come well packaged so there isn't any worry about wrinkles or creases. Not bad prices either.

Ann, The Hubble images have no copyright. You can find the file you want on the internet and take it to any photo shop that offers poster size prints and have it printed. Costco has pretty competetive prices. The quality is great and the image you get will be wonderful and for a cost of about $15 or $20 each.

The Sky Publishing "Spotlight Prints" series has a Andromeda photo available for ordering. I have had several framed and are hanging in my house.

Thanks, Joe, we'll see how it goes. As I say every year, I'm trying to make time for astronomy this year if life doesn't have too many other plans instead. For some reason, my home computer doesn't like Gmail. Worked fine a few months ago, but now I can open the site but can't open individual messages. It's as if most of the page functions are disabled. Works fine on my office machine. So for now, I won't be posting from home, until I figure out why my computer hates Gmail. I maintain this account solely for UA list messages and prefer not to route them to my other email accounts. On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 11:29 AM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hey Chuck! Just wondering if your Computer's a Mac? My dad had the same thing happen to him on his iMac it wouldn't open Gmail, or Yahoo email. I had to install Google Chrome for him to allow him to open his email. Good to see you back again Howard --- On Wed, 3/10/10, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Howard, good to hear from you. Nope, I've got a PC and every other site works just fine- including all the other Google pages and services, it's just Gmail that doesn't work. I've investigated most of the easy things, now I'm checking into a possible conflict with my home security software. I'm using the same browser at the office as home, but a different security suite.

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:
