Directions for Use

Navigation through Astrophoto Lab is easy. It is our mission to show you the available images, provide some facts about them and make it easy to purchase them in a variety of sizes at realistic prices for students, hobbyists and the general public. You won't find a lot of clutter here. Here's some easy steps to keep in mind:

1. Bookmark this website. New images are added all the time at irregular intervals. We sometimes post website updates in the "What's New?" folder, also on Twitter and directly to you through our newsletter.

2. Use the Astro Finder to quickly locate an object. It's an alphabetical list cross-indexed by Common name, NGC number, Messier catalogue number and other scientific designations. Clicking on the list will take you to a fact sheet about the object or directly to the order page.

3. Try our Visual Guide. Click a thumbnail to access the detailed information about the space image you choose.

4. The Space Image Gallery contains everything available for sale. Images are grouped into categories from the latest to the oldest release. Run a slideshow to see all the images. Set the timer from 1 to 10 seconds. You can order images during the slideshow. (Firefox works best. IE inserts an unavoidable white flash between images)

5.Write to us, please! We thrive on your suggestions for improving the site. Use the "Feedback" page.

6. Order something!. It's easy to overlook but this website can only exist with your support.
