And what stunner's they are. Enceladus is gorgeous but Saturn eclipsing the Sun is now my desktop background. I was a bit puzzled by that disk in the centre of the image, I guessed it was some sort of mask to shield the optics from the sun, oh boy was I wrong, its Saturn itself.

The image in the first post (Saturn eclipsing the sun) has been my desktop background for years.  I've tried to find a poster print of it to continue to the admittedly weird tradition in my family of having astronomical photos in the bathroom but I haven't found one yet that has met my size+price point requirements.

I feel your pain. I could have bought a bath full of Gin with the money I've wasted trying to edge-to-edge print a poster sized image of say, the Horsehead Nebula.
I have an A3 printer so it should be easier seeing as there are fewer elements to stitch together, but no, you can always see the joins. The trial runs with scabby paper and black ink look fine, but print in colour on that £1 a slice matt satin swag and it all goes tits up.
