And this lovely wide field pic which I shall make a wallpaper of at some time...

Amazing pics 

Have to agree with Freddy, Amazing pics, I can see why you want to turn the wider field one into a wallpaper, I don't like bright wallpapers, too much on the eyes but that one is perfect.

I guess the mosaic ones are done by a computer or an extremely patient artist. 

I like this pic. Not really astro but hey, cool pic

Not sure of its wallpaper potential. Any comments?
