Little water drop planets on an orchid, Denver Botanic Gardens.
13 images, focus stacked.
For those of you who have been asking, focus stacking involves taking a bunch of pictures with minute focus adjustments on each. I start with the front edge in focus and work my way back. You then use a program, like the excellent Zerene Stacker, to automatically align them. There's a bunch of cleanup to do afterward, also in Zerene Stacker.
The planetary eruption is really one of those old lightning balls found in a clean up of a kid's wardrobe. It still works!!

As I was picking flowers, I noticed a tunnel hidden in the tall shadows. Translucent rays of grain nourishing my iris.
I had to plunge my hand into it to feel what stayed behind.
The shadows swallowed it to reappear floating in the emptiness surrounding a distant planet.
50mm Makro Planar mounted on R5.
The rim of a large crater, with some smaller craters within. I originally planned to have this rim be at one end of my base, with the entire base inside the crater. But now I'm thinking of building parts of it outside, e.g. I have a few Windtraps that would make sense to have on the rim, to pick up the maximum amount of wind. Also, I have a force field barrier, that would make more sense to have on the outside than on the inside of the crater...

Planetary Conjunction Through Atmospheric Turbulence

I wish I had set the shutter speed at 1/80 sec or faster.

Jupiter, Saturn and Venus in the evening sky of Dec 12 2021. Stich of 4 frames with Pentax K-5 and Sigma Art 35mm F1.4 @ f/2.8, 1 s iso 400. "Fog" effect on stars with StarSpike Pro 4.
The alignment of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon was photographed on the evening of December 12, 2021. A Canon 80D and a Canon 8-15 mm f/4L fisheye lens was used to capture the wide angle scene.
It's FebRovery again, my favourite themed building month.
So let's begin with a modification of set 10497 (or as I like to call it, the "UCS Galaxy Explorer") into a rover.
As far as names go, "Planetary Explorer" was the obvious and only choice. The rear cargo compartment contains a small skimmer-type vehicle to mirror the rover carried by the original
what is it ? it is the top part of very small glass jam jar, filled with oil, water and red wine (mixed and left to settle) Looks a bit like a gas giant planet.

Clear view of our nearest planetary neighbour with the planet Saturn creeping into the shot.

This is a tight crop of an image of the Weinberger planetary nebula. I captured the outstanding OIII data for the planetary nebula last night. It was interesting to see the levels of oxygen emission from the PN with the new data added. OIII x 14 x18 , Ha 17x 1800 and SII 17x 1800. This would make an excellent target for longer focal length optics. May be next time round.

The ST100 Maglev is the preferred way to get around the surface of Planet Frost. Powered by a Cyclonic Fusion core, the 5 car consist is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 700 mph. Boasting a smooth ride and luxurious accomodations, the ST100 is popular among locals and visitors alike.
The ST100 is powered with Power Functions. The model features 16 3mm LEDs. This is the first element of a large space display I'm (slowly) working on.

The Vanguard is the bulk fighter of the Confederacy Navy. It's a light vessel designed to operate from both space carriers and ground bases. It can last a week on standby and a day in battles, such as short skirmishes and riot controls. When the power core is depleted it can be switched out easily at the base or with a resupply craft.
Dual tungsten rail guns can deal massive damage over long distances and the powerful shield protects the pilot from incoming hostiles. The angled position of the shield generators gives maximum protection to the cockpit from frontal attacks.
This is my entry in the Star Fighter category of Space Jam 2018!
Play features:
* Open the cockpit to access the pilot seat
* Replace the depleted power core
* Retractable landing gear
* Fire the rail guns with the aft mounted trigger
Here is a video of the play features: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vI56lsmdjI
Stars’ Lifecycles Play Out in One Patch of Sky
Let’s start with the three smaller objects: Near the top left are two bright orange nebulas; the larger is Sh2-217 and the smaller--which appears to rest on the shoulder of the giant blue-orange object--is Sh2-219. At the bottom center is nebula BFS 44. These three emission nebulas are all part of the same star forming region. Their illumination comes from the young stars born from the area’s dense interstellar clouds. This vast, cloudy region sits roughly 14,250 light years away from my widefield telescope and serves as the backdrop to the two big, bright elephants in this frame.
Sh2-221 and Sh2-216, to the left and right respectively, resulted from different types of star deaths. Sh2-221 is a supernova remnant (SNR). Approximately 6,000 years ago a giant star more than ten times the mass of our Sun exploded, throwing shock waves and filaments of hot gasses outward initially at about 10% of the speed of light (30,000 km/s). Eventually the debris will cool, slow, and reabsorb into the interstellar medium. Think of it like a firework exploding in the sky--This is how giant stars die.
The planetary nebula (PN) Sh2-216, aged at around 500,000 years old, is truly ancient as far as PNs are concerned; in fact, it is the oldest, largest, and closest known PN to Earth. This nebula formed when the core of an aging star in the same size range as our Sun contracted and superheated, pushing away its outer layers of hot gasses. This shell expanded outward at an approximate initial speed of only(!) 25 km/s. Sh2-216 has grown exceedingly dim, and its fuzzy edges indicate that it is beginning to dissipate. Think of it as a plume of smoke--This is how medium size stars die.
So these two objects appear about the same size, but which one is actually closer to us? SNR Sh2-221 is roughly 2,600 ly away and about 130 ly across, while PN Sh2-216 is approximately 400 ly away and 11 ly wide. Therefore, PN Sh2-216 is much closer and smaller in actual size than SNR Sh2-221. You know those travel photos of a tourist holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Well consider Sh2-221 the Tower and Sh2-216 the Tourist!
The telescope I used for this shot is my Takahashi FSQ-106 @ f/3.6, equivalent to a 382mm lens (for a telescope this is very wide angle, for a camera lens this is considered an ultra-telephoto). I’ll spare you all of the details on the camera except to say that it has a monochrome “full frame” sensor. This means that the image spans almost 5.5 degrees of sky, or eleven full Moons set in a horizontal row. There are many nebulas in our skies that would appear much larger than our Moon if only we could see them...Consider this for a moment: Space seems so abstract and remote, and its objects so impossibly small and distant; but if we had eyes evolved to see effectively in the dark, how colorful, textural, and alluring might the night sky appear to us?

The Police Striker is one of the most common ships in the Confederacy Galactic Police Force. It mostly patrols the outskirts of major Cities and Industrial areas. Always ready to strike at suspicious activity. Antigrav engines keeps it in the air while the quad thrusters gives it it's deadly speed. The wings are mainly for stabilization but can also be used for tight twists and turns. The Striker can fly in zero g but performs best in an atmosphere.
Abell36 is a planetary nebula that lies in the constellation of Virgo some 780 light years away.
It is very dim, not having much signal above the background sky. The 7 minute sub time that I used is longer than I usually like to go but it was necessary to bring out the nebula.
The nebula has formed from the central blue star. The star is blowing off its outer layers as it transforms to a dwarf star.
