I've been working on the new Colonial Fleet Desktop. The little sample above really doesn't do the image justice. It really came out gorgeous.

Here is a 1280x1020 version
1280x1020

more to come soon.

Default Cool!

I have had that nebula and map image on my desktop for more than a year now, but this one is awesome!!!!

Have you all seen the one they are using on BSG.com? They have almost the same one except with a blue nebula..

Could you do one with that color too?????

Sure. I can do a colorshift or maybe I can use the blue nova explosion. Whichever you prefer.

Default Awesome!

It would be neat to have them in all colors such as yellow, green, etc...

I have already put this one on my desktop! Great work. I have always loved the nebula shot. makes one wonder about the mysteries of the universe...

Tom -

I love the desktop! It is soooo cool! It gets a lot of attention on my pc at work because it is so striking.

A couple of things though.... I found a typo it reads "Egyptians, ot the Toltecs"

I was also wondering what happened to the "Architects" line....

Best regards,
Bryan

I'm glad you like it!

You caught the typo! I missed it! Thanks I reuploaded it so anyone who wants a correct version can have it.

The architect line in the pilot goes like this:

"They may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria, or Atlantis"

but it was cut out for the rest of the series.
