I'm working on a couple of Flash pages to promote my amazing video editing and web design abilities, and I'm using an Apollo theme. For example, on the home page, an astronaut rummages around in the back of the rover and some menu items pop out and bounce onto the Lunar surface.

What I'm looking for is a very large picture of the LM's control panel, preferably with astronauts visible. While I'm having a great time browsing through the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (I spent most of the day on Apollo 11,) in the name of expediency, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any good candidates off-hand. This one (http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a11/ap11-KSC-69P-590HR.jpg) is pretty close, but Neil and Buzz being in street clothes kind of ruins the effect.

I figured I'd ask. I can't lose: if someone gives me a pointer, I've found my picture. If not, I get to continue exploring this amazing resource.

Maybe it helps.

No prob :)

On a sidenote, I see that all panel texts were lit. I suppose that wasn't looking too good on the energy budget?

Radioluminescence. They were painted with radioactive paint. Didn't need electricity.

Ah ok. Good solution.
