The story

I took this image back in 2015. While it might not seem as much, what you see here is a comet (the green ball, designated as C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy) cruising near one of the most famous stars in our sky: Polaris, the Northern Star. The comet does not feature the flashy tail most people expect when they picture a comet, but as a bonus, the image does feature a large amount of dense high galactic latitude nebulae that due to being very faint, it is often neglected in astroimages.

Fuji Pearl paper is a super high gloss finish, archival paper. It has a better gloss than glossy photo paper, thicker paper and it contains pigments and other materials that give purer whites and sharper, better defined highlights. We ship our prints flat, not rolled, regardless of the size.

Metal prints are a modern and visually striking way to display photographs. The printing process involves infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, resulting in vibrant and durable prints with a unique, high-gloss finish. Metal prints are always shipped ready to hang.
