This is a high-res pic of the Carina Nebula, it's amazing

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...b8/Ngc3372.jpg

Here's an overview of what the parts are : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../NGC_3372d.jpg

If you want the really, really high super-duper extreme resolution image (I think that is a technical explanation ) then there is this 200MB version.

I don't think even Quad's cameras can match that resolution

If these photos float your boat, there are loads more here:

I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?

I can't get it to download at the moment either, I expect it's overloaded as the link has been posted all over the net today.

Awesome pics Youd think that they would have dusted the lens to get rid of the white spots though
