This is my first time ever creating something like this and it ended up taking way longer than I anticipated. I was pretty pleased with the result in the end. Originally I had white lines separating the images, but that seemed pretty glaring. If I were to do it again, I probably would have cut the line size in half as well and possibly made the image slices slightly larger.

If you're curious about what the actual images are, from left to right:

Eastern Veil Nebula

Pelican Nebula

Messier 78

Fireworks Galaxy

Moon

Andromeda

NGC 1333

Markarian's Chain

Horsehead Nebula

Milky Way

Thanks for looking!

If you feel like looking at some of my other images or seeing full versions of the images from above, you can see all of them on my Instagram.

EDIT: Here is a mobile version for anyone looking for a version for their phone

but wait, are those pictures that you took or some random pictures from the internet?

I remember you posted this a couple months ago and I had used it as my wallpaper for a good while. The only part that bugged me a bit was the moon panel about midway down the right edge where the dark spot of the image makes the line/edge look "smudged" in a bit. Otherwise, it's a fantastic wallpaper.
