Can anyone recommend websites that have decent astronomy wallpaper?
Especially nebulae, novas and galaxy's.


1024*768 and above with no borders, watermarks or writing in it.


http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html, but no easy way to browse
unfortunately (and quite a variation in image size)


If you go via the calendar page you can view thumbnails a month at a time.
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/calendar/allyears.html - click through to pages
you like the look of and click again on the image to get the 'largest
available' image.

Alternatively, if you go to the search page and insert an appropriate search
term you can get up to 200 thumbnails at a time.
