Description

Recently I've started imaging targets which my family and friends like the looks of and then turning them into wall mounts. I discovered that producing actual prints is quite a task and not nearly as easy as simply sending an image to the printer. Initially I began printing them on high quality, glossy photo paper and placing them in those popular floating frames. Then my good friend Gary (https://www.astrobin.com/users/GaryI/collections/) suggested emblazoning them on metal.. I had never heard of that but decided to give it a try on M88 (NGC4501), a beautiful spiral galaxy 50-60 million light years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. Needless to say I was super impressed with the quality and the price! So impressed in fact that I gave it to my Dad as a birthday/Father's Day gift!

Anyone else have a creative way of printing/displaying your images?
