I beg you, I plead with you, please, sell me this photo. 
If you do so, you will make this astro girl extremely happy.  |
Suzy you are welcome to use the picture any way you like for personal use, say make a print or a poster or whatever. If you cannot down load the big image send me your address by PM and I will post a CD with an even larger image at full resolution and quality. about 550MB 16bit tiff or about 75MB 8bit jpg at max quality.
For commercial use I generally only need the usual acknowledgment.
I would not put up high resolution images if I wanted to hide my efforts in a locked drawer. As I am retired I do this for fun and to keep me as 'sane' as last week.
Steve, Ron and Rob being of the old school in science I am a firm believer in free exchange of all information especially if it can help others with their own efforts. Most of my knowledge came to me from very many smart people that were way ahead of me in time and expertise, so if I figure out something new it is my duty to pass it on to try and balance the books even a small bit.
My lecturers and colleagues always told me very good science was about very good questions, not answers!
Bert
