New unreal ESO images of the Milky-Way, the zoom in is insane!

Anyone know how to get a decent full screen grab as a wallpaper, I keep getting a white box top right?

Nice!

You can use their interface to full screen (bottom buttons, third from the right) and then use the two arrows in the bottom left (>>) to close the white box. It does leave the two small black (>>) and (Z) buttons though.

Thanks gets rid of the box and I get a screen grab, what's the easiest way to turn that into a jpeg?

Scratch that, found out about 'Snip' in the start menu, used snip to cut whichever bit i wanted from on screen out and saved as Jpeg, VOILA!

Wow Snip is cool as F! Anything on screen I can cut out and jpeg in 10 seconds, never knew anything about it!

All I need now is a monitor big enough to use that as the background
