[Bit OT] Need help with finding something

The only place I recall ever seeing one is in Elite II Frontier. If you have that game (You could probably pick it up second hand for a small amount) go to the galaxy map and zoom right out. Then you'll have to find a way of grabbing the screenshot. Other than that I can't suggest anything you haven't already tried (probably)

Elite II? We'll I'll be...

I'm going to follow that one up, but I'm still open to any suggestions, even if you think I've tried them before.

Or not, it would seem.

The BBC recently did a programme about astronomy with lots of snazzy CGI. I just had a look at the website and couldn't find any Milky Way images. Didn't look too hard though. Some interesting stuff there anyway, mind you.

One other possibilty - find the website for the Milky Way chocolate bar (Nestle I think) and maybe (just maybe) they'll have something. That is getting a bit desperate though.

NASA gennerally doesn't do CGI, I think, which is what a milky way image would HAVE to be (well, CGI or other art.. you get the idea. No pictures)

While it is quite imposible for anyone to actually take a photo of the milkyway considering where you would have to be sitting to take the picture

Nasa and in particular the huble space telescope has taken several pictures of similar in design galaxies to our own milkyway.
