That's from the StarCharts book, I actually have it up on my wall! It's really cool.

It's a scan from the Star Trek Star Charts Book (like wasd said) done by Geoffrey Mandel from a few years back.  A very cool book.  Still available at Amazon:    http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Charts-Complete-Atlas/dp/0743437705/ref=sr_1_1/002-6852879-1314461?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180481557&sr=1-1

Not an official poster, but like wasd said, you can remove the chart and unfold it from the book.  I'm sure a pro framer could flatten it out for you too.

I remember when I was 12 or 13, some family friends gave me some Original Series Star Trek maps. They folded out and came in a folder, and had a map of all the planets they had visited in the original series. I believe it was this

When I was in High School, I gave them to a classmate who was a big Star Trek fan, as I was really into Heavy Metal at the time  :metallica: and not some much Sci Fi  :confused. I regret that a bit now, though he was a big Star Trek fan, and was happy to get them, so I do feel good about that.
