My first attempt at a Milky Way panorama. I'm pretty happy with it except for a few things such as the distortion at the top of the image, some alignment and some colouring/toning.
Long time no post! I've had no money for so long that I've basically fallen out of the hobby. But I think this year will be better. :) In the meantime I am still thinking about my characters. I want to try and sort out the chaotic mess their story is. That means working out a timeline- a task that is SO daunting, I couldn't help but procrastinate before I had even begun.
So here we are! An alignment chart! (If you're unfamiliar with these, here is a good way to look at it: i.redd.it/0telpo54uxry.jpg) Honestly, I do feel like it made me look my characters in a different way. Some of them ended up in the same category even though I never would have guessed it. Some things are just funny, like all the women being evil. XD I do feel like even this chart is pretty limiting, so they are carefully arranged within each square depending on which direction they're leaning. For example, Andras is in the top of his square because even though I consider him evil, he's /almost/ neutral. He's on the far left of the square because he is absolutely not chaotic at all.
They'll probably get moved around as I think more about it. I already regret putting Valefor as low as I did. XD Alignment charts are hard! But it was fun to think about. :3
Patriotic Planetary Alignment tonight. Red, white, and blue. Red Mars, white (OK yellow) Saturn, blue Spica. Throw in the moon and Mary's Peak as a bonus.
A reflective device is properly aligned to be used with a Trimble Total Station at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., March 19, 2014. The station is used to ensure a snow fence is properly aligned so that it can act as a temporary runway marking on taxiway Echo. This summer, Minot AFB, in coordination with Sundt Construction and the United States Army Corps of Engineers, will be performing a $32.8 million runway repair project to replace about 9,000 feet of the center keel section.

Off the cuff idea I thought of when I saw how two perpendicular eyelet pieces connect. The alignment works perfectly for two wedges!

Museum for the Decorative Arts, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Richard Meier & Partners Architects LPP, 1979 - 1985
The character of the surrounding environment had a decisive impact on the form of this building, not only in terms of the topography but also in respect of the local doppel villa topology. Designed as a part of a new cultural district on the banks of the river Main – they so called Museumsufer – this arts museum was a transitional work in that it was part of the conversion of a residential quarter to public-institutional use.
The accommodation of the program within the available site enabled the remainder of the area to be treated as a park, open to the surrounding community, to Sachsenhausen in the south and to the city across the river in the north. Articulated pathways and vistas enabled the site to be reorganized in such a way as to overcome the barrier formed by the villas lining the Main River.
The skewed organization of the plan was based on two intersecting geometries, on an orthogonal grid deriving from the Villa Metzler and on a discrepant second grid taken from the alignment of the river. The Villa Metzler is incorporated into the new composition by being inscribed into an open quadrant of its 16 square orthogonal grid. This initial grid was then overlaid by a second grid of exactly the same size, but rotated 3.5 degrees to correspond with the embankment. The superimposition of these two networks generates the formal order of the work throughout.
The Villa Metzler’s basic dimensions and the proportions of the villa’s windows became the basis of the square metal panel module and fenestration of the new building.
The general organization of the museum space gives the work a didactic character, with the visitor proceeding counter clockwise through a prescribed series of spaces, outlining the history of European decorative art. Specific openings are framed in various ways so as to sustain a sense of discovery through different apertures, while always permitting the objects themselves to relate to the scale of their immediate environment.

If you liked my work, take a look at my Instagram gallery, where I share some of the things I've been doing (travels, music, lifestyle) and where I post other pictures that are not yet on Flickr as well as some edits. It would greatly help me in my photographic journey. Thanks a lot for your support.
Whitmyer's Alignment is on Main Street, Pennsylvania Route 45 in Montandon, Pennsylvania in Northumberland County.

Experimental shot: QHY5L-IIm goes deepsky :)
QHY5L-IIm is a tiny camera of a size of 35 mm film canister fitted with 1/3" inch (4,8x3,6 mm) chip housing 1280x960 very small 3,75x3,75 mkm pixels. This is smaller than 4,3x4,3 mkm in Canon EOS 60D(a), but this chip is declared and really appears to be surprisingly good in terms of noise and, as a result, the stacked image is very tolerant to extensive processing.
It is very tempting to try it with 0,5x focal reducer. It would give me 150 mm f/2,5 setup, almost a HyperStar :)
It was fun to have an image straight out of the camera for inspection and as the camera was producing them, I was opening frames in DSS, inspecting them for obvious junkiness and was producing stacked results. What I have noticed was that initial images displayed some traces of "swirling" at the peripherial parts. Closer inspection had revealed a population of hot pixels that, I think, were mistakenly counted to be the stars and affected the alignment and stacking. Adding only three dark frames had removed them completely and resulted in nice "rectiliniar" image.
Being that small, this camera doesn't require flatfield calibration image to remove vingetting, which makes processing easier.
Now I want to try it on some nice galaxies :)
Acquisition time: 15.05.2016 22:30-23:30 MSK
Equipment:
QHY5L-IIm powered by QHY EZPlanetary on Celestron OMNI XLT 150 mm Newtonian riding on Skywatcher NEQ-6 Pro mount.
Aperture 150 mm
Focal length 750 mm
Tv = 45 seconds
Av = f/5
ISO N/A
Exposures: 36x45 sec (plus 15 respective dark frames and 50 1 mks offset frames).
Processing: FIT images were fed to DSS. Stacked image was processe in photoshop by increasing gamma to 2, setting new black to 0, and adding more gamma, up to 1,8.
Note: I knew I missed something. This something appeared to be the gain value available for this camera. I suspect that I was using it exclusively at its minimal gain. This is a blunder.
I don’t put my poems in straight jackets. The words fall where and how they please, like Summer rain on a field of wild flowers. I don’t cram or corral or corner them, and so they trust me. I’m often wrong but I’m always honest.
I don’t care much for structure. Surely it’s important, but I love the creative artist more than the business they represent. I don’t dress up my words. If they come in from the garden with dirty fingernails and wild, untamed hair, I don’t put a pretty bonnet over them. If they’re too raw, you’ll have to cook them. I’m utterly comfortable with transparency.
Words uplift, but they can bring you down. Often without the careless person’s knowledge. Oh, that we are ever mindful of the words we choose, the message we convey, and communicate as the Love we are, uplifting one another. If there is anyone I’ve hurt, I’m sorry. If you feel misunderstood, tell me. If you think I’m terribly wrong, ask me to listen.
If Heaven is real, and we have all of eternity to live together, we’d do well to begin practicing such One-ness.

I have just returned from Florida.
Sunset from the back of my brother's building revealed an unusual alignment of the Moon below a planet, plus star, viewable all week. Greetings all, I look forward to catching up with your images and posting pics of the Fort Lauderdale area, ocean and lush foliage. I leave the flocks of pelicans zooming by to the mastery of Doug.
