On: 2.5 Gigapixel Image of the Orion Constellation Too...

Wow! That is gorgeous, and not what I had envisioned, yet is exactly as advertised.

I am trying to create a gallery wall with the full image of the milky way galaxy[0], and then have close ups of different DSO printed in details. In my mind, I want to arrange it where each detail is attached via strings to their location within the [0] image CSI style.

Oh, that could be really nice. Could also take a really big wall…

I'll just have be sure to include a plaque that says "All images are NOT to scale"!!

Not all to the same scale, at any rate :)

I just meant the aspect ratio of the full-galaxy picture is very high; you might need a rather long wall. And then a wide room so that visitors can step back and see the whole thing. It could be amazing.

There is a tool called "rasterbator" that can print large images out tile-by-tile "Wall Art Generator" https://rasterbator.net/

True. There are also large-format photograph printers that can print an amazing image four feet tall and as wide as you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durst#Lambda_and_Theta_photogr.... This is what was used to print the image I have.

Somewhat expensive though; best to rent time on one rather than buying your own. https://www.bayinkjet.com/products/durst-lambda-130-used
