You should take those composite images you have right now, make them printable at 12x18 or larger, and market them (inexpensively) to schools and such ... |

It'll never happen. All NASA images (which includes all JPL and other NASA center mission) are free for educational/nonprofit use since the missions are paid for by taxpayer dollars. Anyone can use Voyager/Galileo/Cassini mission images to their hearts' content. My meager attempts wouldn't attract any attention. I have LOTS of teacher friends. They ooh and ahh over my images, but they don't pull out their wallets. ;-( |

Ah, I didn't know that was your source for those -- you're quite right then. Still fine presentations ... |

I thought he was saying when people can use NASA's photos for free they aren't likely to pay to use his... least thats how I read it.
I think Johns are awesome though and would love to be able to do that stuff... but astro-equipment just isn't in the budget! |

That's what I thought he said also. I do agree with GeneralE that they could be sellable. After all you are providing something extra just looking at your images which include various presentations with information about them. You may be able to get similar images from NASA for free but they may not meet exact size/layout specfications that you could provide/customize. As for teachers being cheap what about companies that provide educational books or other related content providers?

Oh, yes. My images are definitely my work and not taken from NASA/JPL sites. I was just pointing out that the quality of my images is pretty mediocre when you compare what people can get for free from other sources. Unfortunately, even amongst the ranks of amateur astronomers, my stuff is now pretty bottom end. Compare this stuff, by amateur astrophotographer Christopher Go of the Philippines. He has received at least a share of the credit for discovering Red, Jr on Jupiter, all with a nice scope (nearly the same as mine) and the equivalent of a webcam. Amazing stuff! |
