Seen this one Dave?

No Bruce, I haven't. It is a fantastic shot. I wonder if there is a higher definition version of the image available, or is the image blocky because it was taken at a high ISO (ASA) setting?

Don't worry Bruce, I just discovered that it is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day, so I downloaded the larger version. Thanks.

I still need to find a bigger version -- or maybe they're holding out for full-size posters? I also looked through the Wikipedia selection, hoping someone had posted a large, high quality pic -- no dice. Some aren't bad composition-wise, but the quality ain't high.
