Flutterby™! : Big Dipper full of stars

Charlene and I painted the ceiling of our bedroom with a view of the summer night sky, with glow-in-the-dark paint. It's pretty awesome, there are, of course, improvements and ideas we're thinking of, but I've also been trying to learn a little more about optics and projection and other ways to create similar effects because it's great for the bright stars, but for the dimmer stars we just stippled regions.

So I've also been looking for awesome astronomical imagery. Phil Plait showcases a 7000 x 3074 image of the big dipper.
