Telescope decals

Some of you may already know of this site, but I bookmarked ages ago and only went back to it today. It might interest some members.

http://www.aliengraphix.com/Astronomy_Decals.html

I figure it isn't that hard these days to make something similar locally? If anyone knows of a similar service in Australia, let us know. (Not too sure about the alien decals, though).

Sirius Optics have a small collection of astro decals. I had one on my last car.

Telescope Decals

Here is one that I prepared earlier, (on the telescope under a piece of DIY laminate).

Regards,

Greg.

I've had some decals, non astronomy, from this Australian site.
Plenty to choose from!

I recall on my old 6" homemade Newt about 24 years ago, I have a sticker "Astronomy Is Looking UP" - how nerdy.

THese days I'd put the decal on the back of the ute

No way I would defile my precious by putting a sticker on it
