Trek Console

I guess this isn't technically "Fan" art, but I'm hoping someone can tell me where this console was used.

This is what my friend said about it, but we were hoping to track it down a little more.

Hello crew mates. I need your Star Trek knowledge. I acquired this panel from my film school and I have no clue where it came from. I got a hold of Mike Okuda and he said it looked like something from Voyager, but he couldn't be certain. Any thoughts?
 
I'm thinking it looks like one of the navigation consoles for a runabout from DS9.

EDIT TO ADD:

A quick check of my DS9 Tech Manual confirms my suspicion, it is a runabout science console. See page 147 of that book. An excellent trophy!

You beat me to it!

Now there are some bragging rights! Faster than the Library Computer Access/Retrieval System! But it's depressing how much gray matter has been wasted on this stuff that I can do that.
 
Ok, that was one guess, but I was thinking it looked too dark. Probably just the lighting.

Thank you guys, I knew if anyone could pinpoint it that it'd be someone here.
 
Well it does look like its from Ds9. One way to tell is the colors used on the graphic. Deep Space Nine Used more oranges in the colors. It could be voyager, but it very unlikely, I am trying to think of any shuttles that had the same controls. Its could also be a TNG graphic from the shuttles on Insurrection (Which was a redress of the runabouts)

I am 75% sure that the insurrection graphics used printed graphics. It you look at the back of the graphics you will see it with layers or just one sheet. If you look at the back of the graphic and see black tape holding color film (Called gels) then it a graphic that was done during the TNG/DS9 and season 1&2 of Voyager. So it would be a DS9 graphic and most likely a runabout graphic. If the graphic is one sheet with no gels then it could be a graphic from one of the TNG films or Voyager.

I run a site all about Trek Graphics...Let me mention it...So one has too..Go over to www.Okudagrams.com in the forum section and I can help with any more questions you have.
 
The one in the link look as if it has been yanked out and is standing on it's edge.

And it has a scorched area.
 
..with the proviso that an 'actual piece of star trek' is usually bits of painted plywood or plastic sheet. :)
