Someone resize (divide by, say, 100!) and make available, please?

Can you link us to the actual hubble page, rather than the super-large TIF?

Thanks everyone. Isn't that a sweet image! I am just amazed by the density of stars at the core of that galaxy - much the same as the Milky Way, I expect. Imagine flying through that centre region!

Took over an hour to download (their server maxed at 200KB/s) and about 45 seconds for initial load in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Each zoom in takes a minute or so .. still zooming and seeing more detail
Oops after 6 or 7 zooms it failed to cope. Fun though.
