Is there a higher resolution image of this available anywhere? The 7000 x 1150 one is nice, but I couldn't find a link to anything larger. It says the original is 120,000 x 18,000 so it was a little disappointing to have the available version not even fill the vertical resolution of my monitor.

Yeah I'd pay for a full resolution version so I can get this printed across my entire wall. Despite the "high" resolution of many of the pictures on the page, not a single one is high enough resolution to print much larger than A3 or so while still seeing the stars/details.

Author is a professional photographer. Suspect that, with an email and a pile of cash, they’d license you the work.

He's selling (up to A2 or so) prints via https://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/ . Maybe you can contact him & ask for something larger.

I would absolutely buy something larger.

The largest option in his shop is actually 5m x 75cm, divided into 5 panels. But that also comes at a price of 7.5k EUR, or 12.5k EUR for a glicee print.

I also was hoping to find a higher resolution image I could buy to print out somehow. The full resolution is 18k x 120k pixels. At 300 DPI that works out to be 60 x 400 inches. Or 5 feet tall and 33 feet and 3 inches long, or close to 2 meters high and 10 meters long.

I think I might have a hallway that it could fit in, but wow that’s big!

It could be the creator of the image is with holding that image from just tossing to the hordes in the hopes of doing something with it to possibly be rewarded for their effort.
