First light of my new mount Mesu 200 mk2 !!
Really happy when I compare with the same picture last year, under different skies and diferent mount....
NGC 6820 is a small reflection nebula near the open cluster NGC 6823 in Vulpecula. The reflection nebula and cluster are embedded in a large faint emission nebula called Sh 2-86. The whole area of nebulosity is often referred to as NGC 6820.
Open star cluster NGC 6823 is about 50 light years across and lies about 6000 light years away. The center of the cluster formed about two million years ago and is dominated in brightness by a host of bright young blue stars. Outer parts of the cluster contain even younger stars. It forms the core of the Vulpecula OB1 stellar association. (Description credits: Wikipedia)

Interplanetary Cruiser
A “big” Lego space cruiser I have built this week. You might notice that the shape is quite unusual:
==> The main structure is obtained with bent 32x16 blue base plates as you can see in the picture if you zoom in on the front or the rear part of the spaceship.
In addition to an original shape this technique provides a very robust design. Something you really appreciate during the building and when you have to manipulate/move the model.
The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle. It was built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors, when nearly 20,000 people a day used its elevators.

Our galaxy's core and Southern Hemisphere night sky, as seen overhead in the dark skies of the Karoo desert, near Sutherland, South Africa.
This was shot with a #Canon 5DmkII, Canon f4 L 8-15mm fisheye lens, and Manfrotto tripod during a recent astrotrip with Tanja Sund.
Also visible in this photo is Venus (bottom left), the large and small Megellanic clouds, LMC/SMC (lower right) and the difficult to photograph Zodiacal light, the large cone-shaped light in the lower left of the image.
Zodiacal light is the light from the sun reflecting off dust in the zodiacal cloud in the solar system. The dust is left over from planetary formation and can only be seen near sunrise or sunset at certain times of the year. It is so faint that any light pollution or moonlight renders it invisible.
"I'm floating in a most peculiar way...and the stars look very different today." David Bowie - Space Oddity.
Take one shot on a sunny day of a petrol station's portico roof, turn it sideways, and suddenly it looks uncannily like an object in low Earth orbit. The lighting angle fits; the clouds fit, and hello, I'm now Stanley Kubrick. Someone put on a Strauss waltz....

Hi Guys, here is something new from me. I hope you enjoy my retro-space-city. I tried to use mostly old bricks to make it look more realistic and oldschool. If ou like it please mark your favourite part on the Photos - thanks.
A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go
And I was so romantic, and I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did
