Posters of southern constellations

Hi all,

A friend of mine will travel to Perth this weekend... and he wants to buy a poster(s) picturing Orion, Southern cross etc... Hi was out of luck with this in Melbourne, maybe he will be better off there..

Could someone let us know about a shop in Perth where he can go?

Thanks in advance..

I don't know about shops in Perth, but there are some magnificent pics on the Hubble web-site which are readily downloadable and printable.

True, not poster size (unless you have a suitable printer) but in A4 they look magnificent - suitable for framing.

Hey Robert9,
You da' Man. that Hubble site is outta' sight.
I saw some great posters at Sirius Brisbane.
Posters just don't cut as well as what computer images do. What do think Rob?

Cheers Marty

Marty, I do agree. I have printed three on A4 glossy paper and have them on the wall. They do look fantastic.

Get them in Perth!?!Mate, if he can't get them in Melbourne he hasn't a hope in **** getting them in Perth. Tell 'im he's dreaming. Sorry, but you wont find such exotic fare here.

BTW, I don't know anyone that does them. The only thing I've seen are cards with the Zodiac constellations on them, and then they are seen from a notherners point of view.

I have just checked the bintel web site and they have some posters, and they are all reduced in price.
I don"t know if that is Sydney only?
