Gazing skyward at a passage of the International Space Station as it flies from west to east (right to left) and passes into the shadow of the Earth at top left and fades out as it experiences sunset. This was December 5, 2018, two days after the arrival of Expedition 58 with Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques for a 6-month stay. I posed for two of the frames.

This pass of the ISS started at 6:17 p.m. MST and was mostly sunlit but the late hour, while providing a dark sky background, meant that the ISS was going to go into our planet’s shadow and enter the night side of the planet.

The view is looking south, with west to the right and east to the left. The ISS passed almost directly overhead, crossing the Milky Way. Mars is the bright object above my head.

This is a stack of 4 x 2-minute tracked exposures at ISO 1600 for the sky and ISS path to keep the stars as pinpoint, and two untracked 1-minute exposures at ISO 3200 for the ground to minimize blurring, masked and blended in. All with the Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens at f/3.5 and Canon 6D MkII on the Star Adventurer Mini tracker.

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

I love this shot! It came out wicked.

I used to say wicked a lot in grade school and I still like saying it. This may or may not make me lame, and I can't be objective about such things.

This is the airport in Bangkok, Thailand. I am not sure who the architect is, but it came out quite inspired. Taking photos of beautiful architecture is somewhat of a sport of mine. I want to try to honor the lines and the textures via a good composition and a good HDR treatment.

Cygnus Cargo Spacecraft at Sunrise by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik photographed Orbital ATK's Cygnus cargo spacecraft at sunrise, prior to its departure from the International Space Station at 8:11 a.m., Dec. 6, 2017. Expedition 53 Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba of NASA gave the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm the command to release Cygnus.

Space Station Passage Past Planets by Alan Dyer

The International Space Station (ISS) in a passage past the waxing crescent Moon, Venus (between the ISS and Moon) and Mars (at upper left). Above the Moon and Venus are the stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini. At lower left above the thunderstorm clouds is Procyon in Canis Minor, while at far right in Capella in Auriga. This is overlooking the prairie lake, the Crawling Valley Reservoir in southern Alberta, on May 22, 2023. The ISS is rising out of the west and climbing up the sky. At this time the private Axiom Ax-2 mission from SpaceX was docked with the ISS, so there were 10 astronauts on board.

This is a single base image of a 4-second exposure with the Canon RF 28-70mm lens at f/4.5 and Canon R5 at ISO 100. A layered stack of 40 images taken before and after the base image as part of a time-lapse sequence was blended in to add the ISS satellite trail to show its motion. It is streaked due to the 4-second exposures. The gaps between the streaks are from the one second intervals between exposures.

“Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.”

The cold war between Armitech Private Defense and the Hidden Demons continues, even if reason prevails with a peace agreement between both organizations, provocations do not cease from either side. Neo Tokyo District and Chinatown, opposing forces ready to clash, will this be a new war in Cocoon Station?

Space 2019: building blocks for spac station arriving... by Jan Kusters

'Ground control this is station.

Gus just stepped out to inspect the new arrival. He found an unexpected small space bot in one of the elements... Is that an addition from you, or do we have a stowaway?'

'Station this is control.

Tiny Spacebot was a last minute addition to hunt down stray parts if need be... Good luck with the assembly!'

******************************************

The Tiny Spacebot came with set 60227 (and something similar was in set 60228, with this head and arms connected to a tiny rover. I think of it as a modular system for robots.

The 'Manned Maneuvring Unit' is a little moc I made.

The Sarcophagus by JJFBbennett

The Sarcophagus

I found myself resting in a cryo unit that resembled a sleek, high-tech sarcophagus. The outer shell is made of brushed metal and glass, while inside, glowing, self-weaving nanotech fibres are tightly wrapping around my body. All I could think of were ancient Egyptian linen bandages. My face is partially obscured, but I can feel the signs of distress etched across. The lighting around me is dim, bathed in cold blue and amber instrument lights. How did I get into it, and why am I seeing myself in the revival cocoon?
