Wallpaper   
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.

Search Wikipedia for some great pics

Or Google image search

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

<http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html>, but no easy way to browse 
unfortunately (and quite a variation in image size)

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.
