- Try to get the program Universe at:
- http://home.earthlink.net/~jessd/
- It great to make backdrops for space renderings. You can make Stars,
- clusters of stars, Single star and Nebulas.

- Try the Astronomy Picture of the Day site:
- http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/
-
- There are some excellent bitmapped images suitable as brushes (as seen in
- some episodes of Babylon5). All of the previously featured images are
- archived.

- Two very useful sources for mapable planetary images are:
-
- http://samadhi.jpl.nasa.gov/txmp/
- http://www.lancs.ac.uk/postgrad/thomasc1/render/maps.htm
-
- In case of the moon, here you will find again the map Leon already
- pointed you to.
