I've decided to purchase an Apollo 8 earthrise photograph that is signed by Lovell and Borman from Novaspace. However I'm not sure whether to purchase an 8x10 or a 16x20? Does the quality of the picture deteriorate if it's a 16x20?

As of in many things, that depends. If the producer of the image just blew up the standard image, then yes the image would not look as sharp in the larger format. However, if the producer of the image resampled the pixels in the smaller image then a blown up picture would look just as detailed as the smaller image.

I have one of the same signed print from Novaspace at 16x20, and so while I can't compare it to the smaller size, it looks great and you won't be disappointed.

I also have the 16x20 and I am very happy with the resolution and the overall quality of the picture. I would recommend it.

I completely agree with the two previous posts. I also have a 16x20 Earthrise and couldn't be happier with the resolution and quality of the photo along with the top notch archival framing from Novaspace/Astronaut Central, I also recommend it.
