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.


Like this but without the borders and text.

Why not 'make' your own wallpaper?
Start looking here...

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.
