A more substantial probe launch and tracking platform...
Rover on tracks and 2 persons wide (just), with a tracking array, and space for different probes that can be launched with a rocket. And a rocket trailer that doubles as launch platform.
Not perfect yet, but I was in a bit of a hurry to get this done in celebration of the real Black Hole picture presented today (April 4 2019).

The Norseman program was pitched to take planetary research in the YSSR to Nix, the next planet beyond Erf in the solar system.
The two-part probe, launched aboard a Transnistrian heavy lift rocket, would have imaged the dark surface of the planet to scout landing sites for its diminuative lander (housed in its descent aeroshell at the bottom of the spacecraft).
CN A408 crawls into Champaign yard with three Illinois Central deathstars leading the freight. The Olympian Road bridge was a lot busier then than it usually is!
I'd say this is a special Star Wars day post, but, well, you know me and just how many deathstars I post.
D'aww, momma and bubs! The vintage one is really cute but the new one is just gorgeous. Rich black tones and lots of details, more poseable legs. Droids rule!
Some polystyrene and a biro. I like how the sastrugi is it called? texture turned out on the base. If I've been good this year maybe Santa will bring me the new Black Series probe for Xmas.
Today I took my Laowa Probe f:14 / 24mm with my 90° prism attachment to a little creek to shoot some pictures at or below water level. Without the 90° attachment it was very difficult to take underwater shots, because you normally don't want to shoot your subject from above, but from the side, preferrably at eye level. Shooting from a flat angle into the water was very dangerous, becaus the camera endet up only a cople of centimeters above water level. To make it worse, only the lower part below the USB port is water proof, so you really have to take care that you don't dip the lens too deep into water.
The 90° attachment allows me now to dip the lens more or les perpendicular into the water and shoot horzintally (or even upwards, if I tllt the lens a little bit to the back. This is much safer and offers new perspectives :-)
Heute habe ich mein Laowa Probe f:14 / 24mm mit meinem 90°-Prismenvorsatz mit zu einem kleinen Bach genommen, um ein paar Bilder über oder unter Wasser zu machen. Ohne den 90°-Vorsatz waren Unterwasseraufnahmen sehr schwierig, da man sein Motiv normalerweise nicht von oben, sondern von der Seite, vorzugsweise auf Augenhöhe, fotografieren möchte. Aufnahmen aus einem flachen Winkel ins Wasser waren sehr gefährlich, da die Kamera nur wenige Zentimeter über dem Wasserspiegel ragte. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass nur der untere Teil unterhalb des USB-Anschlusses wasserdicht ist, sodass man sehr darauf achten muss, das Objektiv nicht zu tief ins Wasser zu tauchen.
Der 90°-Vorsatz ermöglicht es mir nun, das Objektiv mehr oder weniger senkrecht ins Wasser zu tauchen und horizontal (oder sogar nach oben, wenn ich das Objektiv etwas nach hinten kippe) zu fotografieren. Das ist viel sicherer und bietet neue Perspektiven :-)

Although not a macro lens, the Samyang AE 85mm f1.4 has pleasantly surprised me with it's macro abilities. Peeping closely, it is not as sharp as a dedicated macro lens, but it performs pretty well nevertheless.

This is my updated version of my Probe droid moc. Seeing as I am still working on my Hoth base and AT-AT, I thought it was time to revisit this build, modify some areas and finalize it.
The center hasn't changed much besides removing the center bar, allowing it to use a clear antenna piece to make it float. The head has gone through the most changes, with more accurate detailing and a better antenna using a screwdriver.
Here is a fly-around view of my Meta Probe from Space: 1999, built to minifig scale. I used Studio 2.0's animation feature to generate the movie and added the titles and logo in iMovie. The fly-around gives a better sense of the design and volumetrics of the model.

Big news! I’m excited to announce my new ongoing series of images taken by the WANDER space probe. WANDER (Wormhole Accelerated Nomad Delivering Exploratory Reconnaissance) is on a mission to explore beyond our universe and capture never-before-seen images of what exists in these strange worlds. WANDER travels by tunneling through wormholes, or “shortcuts” through spacetime. The wormholes are created from huge quantities of extremely dense matter in neutron stars and are filled with incredible amounts of negative energy harnessed from the vacuum of space. This negative energy holds the tunnel of the wormhole open long enough to be traversable.
With my technical background and knowledge of photography, I’m honored to have been selected as the lead image processor for the WANDER mission. WANDER uses special electronic detectors to record wavelengths of light throughout the range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This raw image data from WANDER is transmitted to Earth in the form of qubits (quantum bits) at nearly instantaneous speeds via quantum entanglement. My job is to analyze and edit this data to produce finished color images that accurately depict the grandeur of these universes.
On occasion, WANDER will be making observations in our universe as it periodically returns to Earth for routine maintenance.

An Imperial Probe Droid has been dispatched to defend the Conveyex - seen here near the base of one of the Conveyex support struts.
Car: Ford Probe 16V.
Date of first registration: 1st August 1996.
Registration region: Stoke-on-Trent.
There are currently only 432 Probes licensed in the UK, 186 are the 16V model and 246 are the 24V.
Date taken: 14th January 2019.

The second generation of the Ford Probe was built from 1992 until 1997. It's based on the platform of the Mazda 626. The 2.5 litre V6 engine also came from Mazda. This is a version for the European markets with some changes to meet the legal requirements here.
Don't see many of these around now.
John Grose tag on the plate, they must have sold it as a used car at some point as 'UR' isn't a local registration - maybe Luton?
I want to share a side project that I've been working on—images taken by a fictional space probe called WANDER, the first spacecraft to explore beyond our universe.
The "photos" that Wander takes of these strange worlds are actually creations I've made by scanning household items. This image is made from:
Planet - glass of half and half, water, food coloring
Moons - glass of coconut milk, water, food coloring
Stars - salt, tums, cinnamon, baking powder
