The Packard Station Sedan was a pseudo luxury station wagon model produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan between 1948 and 1950, using the Packard Eight platform. By offering the Station Sedan Packard could market a vehicle with station wagon attributes, but without the investment cost associated with a complete station wagon development program.[2]
The Station Sedan used a combination of steel framing and body parts along with structural wood panels made from northern birch to create a "woody" station wagon-like car due to the growing popularity of them after World War II. Unlike other woody wagons of the day, which used wooden passenger compartments mounted to chassis of a particular car, the Station Sedan used a steel subframe and steel passenger doors onto which hard wood panels were mounted. The only wooden door on the vehicle was the rear gate assembly.[3] Unlike competitor station wagons from Buick, Chrysler and Mercury, the Packard's length was not long enough to accommodate optional third row seating.[3]
Neither a sedan, nor true station wagon, the Station Sedan enjoyed limited success, with a listed retail price of US$3,459 ($38,958 in 2021 dollars [4]) for its final year of 1950, and was discontinued when the 1951 Packard models were introduced.

For this image I took two photos of two horses looking over a fence, I then superimposed a close up of one of the horses, reduced it in size and repositioned it onto the original image which I made black and white.
I have wanted to get a detailed shot of this supernova remnant for quite some time. The guiding wasn't perfect this night, but I'm pleased with the overall result. I wonder if I'll be able to do this well enough again in the future to watch the expansion of the nebula that continues from when it appeared in the sky as a supernova in 1054 C.E.
Shot with a Celestron Edge HD 925 at focal length 2210 mm (f/9.4) with an Atik 414-EX monochrome CCD and Optolong RGB deep sky filters. All subframes were 150 s exposures.

Mu Cephei, officially named the Garnet Star, is a red supergiant star in the constellation Cepheus. It appears garnet red and is located at the edge of the IC 1396 (Elephant's trunk) nebula. Mu Cephei is more than 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. It is also one of the largest known stars with a radius around or over 1,000 times that of the sun, and were it placed in the Sun's position it would engulf the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. (Wikipedia)

Further to posting the steering wheel and dash board the other day, here is the rest of the car, which didn't actually sell at the auction last September so it may still be up for sale.
"Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190 SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by alterations aimed at strengthening the saloon's shortened platform to compensate for the open body's reduced stiffness. Mounted on a detachable subframe along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four - the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex down-draft carburettors, the M121 unit produced 105bhp at 5,700rpm, an output sufficient to propel the 190SL to 60mph in 13 seconds and on to a top speed of 107 miles per hour."
NGC 2244 also know as the Rosette Nebula is a emission nebula located in the Monoceros constellation.
The nebula is at 5200 light years from earth and is approximately 65 light years wide

this is actually a reprocessing of the image I took earlier in the year, now that I have a slightly better understanding of how to process astro images, another challenge is that instead of a stack of one hour of data this is simply a single 2 minute subframe stretched, very happy with how it came out
Description: This image of the Pleiades Star Cluster M45 was developed by me from 120x300s subs or 10.0 hours of total exposure time.
Date / Location: 9-11, 13, 14, 16-19 December 2022 / Washington D.C.
Equipment:
Scope: WO Zenith Star 81mm f/6.9 with WO 6AIII flattener/focal reducer x0.8
Cooled camera: ZWO ASI 2600MC Pro at 100 Gain and 50 Offset
Mount: iOptron GEM28-EC mount
Guider: ZWO Off-Axis Guider
Guide camera: ZWO ASI 174MM mini
Focuser: ZWO EAF
Light pollution filter: Chroma LoGlow Broadband Light Pollution Reduction Filter - 2"
Software: Pixinsight
Processing Steps:
Preprocessing: I preprocessed 120x300s subs (= 10.0 hours) in Pixinsight to get an integrated image using the following process steps: Image Calibration > Cosmetic Correction > Subframe Selector > Debayer > Select Reference Star and Star Align > Image Integration.
Linear Postprocessing: Rotation > Dynamic Crop > Dynamic Background Extractor (both subtraction to remove light pollution gradients and division for flat field corrections) > Background Neutralization > Color Calibration > Noise Xterminator.
Nonlinear Postprocessing and additional steps: Histogram Transformation > Local Histogram Equalization > Curves Transformation > SCNR Noise Reduction. Multiple passes of Histogram Transformation, Local Histogram Equalization and Curves Transformations were made in small doses.
The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth.

As of last week, the Bugatti Veyron is once again the fastest car in the world. The figures are stunning: 8.0 litres, 4 turbochargers, 16 cylinders, 1001 hp, 4wd.
This Lego model has been built to 1:15 scale (16-wide) for Eurobricks 2010 LDD Challenge and features a mid-mounted W8 piston motor, 4wd, four-wheel independent modularised suspension. The vehicle is built to true automotive method. The front passenger tub is technic pin mounted to the rear engine/chassis subframe. All exterior panel except the roof are unstressed and can be detached from the body. The rear spoiler is also height and pitch adjustable.
Helix nebula (NGC7293), hAlpha, 36 h total exposure time with Hyperstar 14"/F1.9 with ASI 1600 and RASA 11"/F2.2 with ATIK 460, parallel mounted on a ASA DDM85. Single subframe exposure time between 90 sec unbinned for the center structures and 180 sec 2x2 bin for the faint environmental veils. I am very happy how many structures of the environment are getting visible. I look forward to your feedback! Tenerife November 2017.

Now the colour version. During the "Perseid night" I had a lot of luck (and maybe also a kind of skilled serendipity). Tons of luck indead that the meteor is captured in both systems (regarding the 10 sec+ CCD downloading time which is an effective exposure pause). Through the middle of a relatively tiny sky area (FOV 7. 2 x 10. 8 °) I could capture this meteor (which is, however, no Perseid but probably a late Delta-Aquariid) crossing Andromeda Galaxy and with multiple outbursts.
Technique: parallel exposure with two imaging systems:
(1) Canon 200mm/F1.8 (open), SX-36, L-pro filter, 240 sec exposure time,
(2) Canon 200mm/F1.8 (open), Sony A7s (CentralDS modded), ISO 3200, IDAS-V4 filter, 90 sec
both on EQ8 mount unguided.
Final image processed with 32 subframes from each system for the galaxy and the stars resulting in a L-RGB image.

Comet 45P, at last there were some subframes usables, with individual background extraction, so that I could integrate some of them. Now the split tail is well visible.
Parallel exposure on ASA DDM 85 mount:
(1) 7 x 60 sec Hyperstar C14/F1.9, Lumicon comet filter, ASI 1600 mono, cooled (-32° C), processed as emerald green in the RGB image.
(2) 7 x 60 sec RASA 11"/F2.2, L-filter, ATIK 490 color, cooled (-18° C)
FOV 1° x 0,9°, location: Tenerife 1180 m altitude. 19:20 h - 19:50 h UT (with many missing subframes due to clouds)
This nebula is located at around 7500 lights years from the Earth and extend over 165 lights years.
On the upper right part you can see the Fish Head Nebula (IC 1795).
On the left it is a part of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805) and you can see Melotte 15 in the middle of the Heart Nebula, a little star cluster with a lot of dust

About 550 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia lies IC 63, a fitting nebula for Halloween time.
Also known as the ghost of Cassiopeia, IC 63 is being shaped by radiation from a variable star, Gamma Cassiopeiae, which is slowly eroding away the ghostly cloud of dust and gas.

Description:
This large hydrogen gas nebula lies about 6,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, and in the Perseus Arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is energized by hot stars near the centre in this view, some of which are about 50 times the mass of our own Sun. The nebula has a diameter of about 200 light years.
