Great shot!

Thanks. We had to work pretty hard to get a good print of that shot. Screens are just very different for this kind of shot compared to paper. Glowing stars are much more visible on the screen. With paper, your top end brightness is very limited. Our final print, 24" wide, looks pretty good, but the stars are still not as prominent as with a screen.

I was wondering about prints!  Is there a best type of paper to use for this kind of work?
