For printers I went to "good quality" online place for these shots, all future ones I'll get the framer to print (got some test prints done and they came up great and similar cost to the online mobs) For star shots its worth talking to the printer asking things like best paper etc. It really depends on the size your getting printed but most half decent printers will work with you to get your shots looking their best.
Here are a couple of pics of the 2 most recent ones I got framed. the smaller one with the tree was 32*16 inch its hard to see but it has a cold blue grey matt and a black frame with a bit if a silver lining. After chatting with the framer they helped choose what matt would look best. The Church shot was 48*16 inch and as there was some warm, almost golden tones in the church (from the nearby lights) we double matted it with a golden under matt with a dark grey matt (this one was a little harder to match matt boards with due to its bigger size) Its in a black frame which also has some gold highlights on the edges.
One last tip I had a price in mind based on previuos framing I had done in melbourne. This actually came in at about 1/2 the price which allowed me to ask about anti reflective glass. It put the cost back up to what I thought it was going to be (eg doubled the quote) but I figured I'd give it a try and its what I went into it expecting to pay. I think it's made the world of difference as the shots are mainly black and in a well lit area it spots a lot of reflections (especially people going to look at them they aren't instancely greeted by their own reflection) So it all depends on the budget and where you get them done however its definately worth considering anti reflective glass for the prints.
Hope that helped a little.
