Star Map – Test Print

The test print of my star map came out really nicely. I went ahead and ordered an A1-sized poster. I did order Matte instead of glossy paper, and I hope this doesn’t change things too much. At worst I’ll be 20 Euro poorer. The small print, by the way, was a mere 4€.

Unfortunately, my apartment is too dark and my only camera – an iPhone – is not really that great, so the photos didn’t come out so well:


Note the CD for size comparisons.

I will take new photos on the weekend – during daylight – and of course once I get the poster.

Visuals: Tour of abandoned amusement park

Aside

LoveThesePics.com posted a photo gallery about a Tour of the abandoned Fix Flags amusement park in New Orleans. Very creepy photos, and very post-apocalyptic. Absolutely reminds me of Wasteland or Fallout. The park could easily be the HQ of the Killer Clowns, which is probably a staple of Postapocalyptica.

The site seems to have some pretty cool photo galleries in general… awesome for inspiration.
