While I was going through the archives in the APOD site I can across a new image of the Butterfly Nebula taken by the upgraded Hubble and what I was wondering is there a site where I could get this image as a poster. Cheers

They don't sell the pictures but they allow you to download high resolution photos which you can then head over to your local printing shop to print. Pick up a nice frame of your choosing and Bob's your uncle. :thumbsup:

Just go to the Gallery --> Picture Album and select what you want from there.

If you select List Highest Resolution First you'll find all the images with links to downloadable high resolution photo's easier. Select the one you want and you'll see the link Highest Quality Download Options. There you'll get the highest quality they have available. Ignore the Print-use download options files as they are for home printers.

For example, here is one of the Butterfly Nebula:

Get the larger TIFF image (25.40 MB, 3527 x 4110px) as it's uncompressed and would be better for printing.

Any printing shop would be able to print this for you thesedays. Just burn it onto a CD or copy it onto a USB flash drive and take it in. Prices should be reasonable too considering there is more competition with Harvey Norman and other outlets getting in on the action.

That's all there is too it. :thumbsup:
