z890 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi, I am wanting to go to this event to get a signiture off Gene Cernan...but my issue is I can't find any decent LARGE photos/posters of him for a signiture. Can anyone help (I am from the UK)? Are there any official NASA sites that I can be sure to get a proper quality photo, rather than just blown-up images that look pixelated on poor qulity paper? I can only justify the cost to attend if I can come away with a good quality signed photo at the end. Look forward to peoples help, as never been to something like this before.

Count Fooku Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Moonpans have some decent images for sale, they aren't mega cheap but I from what I've seen the quality is very good. There is usually a stall at the show selling bigger prints which are pretty decent looking but then you always run the risk that they might not have what you want. In terms of sites to get pictures off, you could look at: http://www.apolloarchive.com/apollo_gallery.html They have a number of hi-res images to choose from which could probably be printed to a decent size.

z890 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 wow thankyou that site you linked to looks great for what i need! the moonpans is US based i think so maybe i will look to get a poster professionally printed from http://www.apolloarchive.com Now Any advice on the best type of paper etc to ask for it to be printed out on at my local copying shop? No worries if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm afraid not, I usually get my photos printed online at photobox and can't say I have ever had any problems with them but I won't pretend to be especially well informed when it comes to paper types etc. Just one thing with regards to moonpans, I believe their operations are (or at least used to be) split between the UK and US, in fact I'm sure they used to have a stall at Autographica so if they do have what you want at the right price it might be worth a quick email to confirm if that is still the case.

18blue78 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Just for information Moonpans do provide pictures in the UK. I've been using them for a while and can honestly say you will not be disappointed, not cheap, but excellent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18blue78 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just a follow up, in a recent Moonpans email they have said they are not planning to attend any events this year so I wouldn't expect to see them at Autographica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
