Nebulae

This is my second collection of universe-themed skydomes.

This time the main source image is taken from here:

This is probably the most marvellous space shot I've ever seen: 423.4 Megapixels, 479 MB file in TIFF format, crisp, sharp, clean and so beautiful.

I've taken five different sections of the original, made circular panoramas and played with colors and contrast in Photoshop.

Every skydome is 4096x2048 and almost 12 MB weighty: that could be too much for certain video cards, so you'll probably have to scale down to use.

In the screenshots you can see how they'll look on your desktop, a scaled down sample of each image and a full resolution crop of the same. ;)


Let me know if you're experiencing troubles.

Seems that you like this collection, don't you? ;)


Actually, I think that this kind of skydome fits pretty well on everybody's desktop, so I hope that you'll be pleased to welcome this little addition of 4 new skydomes that I made from

This time the source images are from the Orion Nebula (324 Megapixels photo) and the Groth Region (224 Megapixels photo), I combined the two images, manipulated the colors and made some equirectangular views out of the result.

I find these last works to be better than the first submissions. Maybe sometime I'll give a refresh to the Carina skydomes too...

Maybe... :)
