How? I really dislike how pbase hosts these big images. When you click on the image, it returns to the previous menu, rather than just a direct link to the raw jpg file. In Chrome I can use the control+mouse scroll wheel to resize - but it doesn't look too good on my little laptop.

This time I viewed it an iMac which is 27" 2560 x 1440.
In Chrome you can right click -> open image in new tab and let the browser resize it. I think this is the best way to enjoy these images - really lets you take it all in.

Picasa viewer is a nice intuitive program for viewing any pic, but particularly huge astro pics I find. The rest of the screen is dimmed, the picture is auto-zoomed, and you can intuitively zoom in and pan around with the mouse and mousewheel. You have to save the image before you can open that way, but worth it for exploring a top class image I reckon if download is allowed.

Bit like Zoomify in realtime time, but faster and smoother.
