yeah, Andromeda, Orion Nebula, SMC, LMC, all stand out so clearly

I'm really tempted to buy the 120"x30" print, I feel like the guy should be compensated for this epic task. Problem is I'd then need to find a 3 meter wall to mount the picture on!

I just saw the 120"x30" print rolled out in front of my office a couple days ago. I think the biggest challenge is figuring out a way to mount a rolled print that big without stabbing it with pushpins.

There is a donate button on the website. Of course you won't get the print, but you can still support the project.
