Leica M3

I finally got my equipment working as it should; not entirely happy with the image but pleased to grab something for a change. The next job is clean the optics; the contamination was very evident in the flats.

I hadn't seen one of these before, but a few other people on Flickr have.
It is a tractor for hauling an inflatable in-shore lifeboat on a trailer to a point where it can be launched, the distance dependant on the level of tide.
It is a Talus MB-4H made by Clayton Engineering and was designed specifically for the RNLI. It can operate in up to 1.6m of calm sea. If it gets into difficulties it can be battened down and left on the sea bed and recovered at low tide.

My new M3. This is based off of Allied Bricks' and Brickist's design. Thanks to them. A side note is that I took apart my M10 to build this. I didn't really like the size and needed the parts. Thanks for taking a look.

EDIT: fixed the striping with better darks :)
M3 Not much I could do with the vertical striping :( Not sure why this occurred but maybe not enough dithering or funky temps as the weather was warmer (45F)

M3 Globular Cluster on the southern edge Canes Venatici is a beautiful object. This is my first image using the new QYH168C cooled CMOS camera on my 12". I currently do not have a an off-axis guider else I would have had rounder stars. This is really also my first colour photo of a glob so I am very pleased and is good testing for the camera as it is coming to Tenerife and La Palma with me this year.

The M3 was built under the light of recent events in France. From the material point of view, the latest M2A4 and the M3 were both designed to be more effective than only infantry support units.
Quick build I completed when I was working on my CH-46E. I am planning on another project, possibly a winter camoflauge Tiger?
Let me know what you guys think!
