Help me fellow fans with an odd request

I need a background for my fishtank and I though why not an epic star trek (or star wars) space scene. It'd look cool and be an unusual talking point.

I've searched for images via the auld google but if there are any in particular you think are great stick em in here and see.

main criteria: Space scene, has to have ship(s), proportions will matter, the end size will be 120cm wide by about 45 tall.

One I haven't been able to find a good image of is the opening from First Contact with the Ent-E backdropped by that stunning nebula. Or other than that any decent space battles, I found a few suitable ones from DS9 mainly, the FC ones are a bit too grainy to use.

Probably not to your specifications but you reminded me when I was first getting into Trek I had this poster on my wall.

I'd kill for a replica of the 1701-D painting in Picard's ready room. Think it's only available as a 13"x19" print though.

NX-01 Refit, might be a better image out there but for trek fans it would be an added talking point.

Never seen an pic of the NX class refit, thats not cannon is it? Nice though, shows the gradual change towards the Constitution class, which, as everyone knows, is the most beautiful thing ever to grace a space battle

Refit of course

Edit - the secondary hull has an almost Excelsior look about it

I like it, would have been a better choice than the cannon upside down Akira

Never noticed it before but NX-01 is almost an upside down Akira, those cheap skates

Dominion fleet regroups at Cardassia Prime:

If you have any DS9 seasons, look for the one where there are lots of Jem'Hadar vs Klingon battleships? I think the ep was "Call to Arms" and looked like:
