sorry to follow, but the old one is on the left, New on the right. Me was made, in house, by a gifted fabricator, when no other options were available, at 2am.
Here is NGC 2264, The Christmas Tree Cluster, in the constellation of Monoceros.
The Christmas Tree Cluster is a young open cluster located in the constellation Monoceros. It is part of the NGC 2264 region, along with the Cone Nebula and the Fox Fur Nebula, and belongs to the Monoceros OB1 association, a loose association of very young stars located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.
The Christmas Tree Cluster was named for its triangular shape, formed by a cluster of very young stars, that is shaped like a tree in visible light. It is located in the northern part of NGC 2264, just above the Cone Nebula. The seventh magnitude member HD 47887 sits just above the tip of the Cone and the bright variable star S Monocerotis (15 Monocerotis) is located slightly to the north and marks the trunk of the Christmas tree. The apex of the tree is located at the Cone Nebula.
Also in this image at the extreme upper left is a small comet-shaped nebula named Hubble’s Variable nebula. It is illuminated by a variable star, so it changes slightly in brightness over time.

The 2005 RL car structure features extensive use of somewhat "exotic" materials for a car at this price point including aluminum alloy hood, front fenders, trunk lid and frame, front and rear subframes, suspension arms, front knuckles and bumper beams.
Detroit Speed solid body mounts provide a simple approach to eliminating the flex that occurs between the body and subframe connection. This will improve vehicle handling response by increasing chassis stiffness. These mounts should be used when installing subframe connectors for maximum torsional rigidity.
Detroit Speed's uniquely designed body mounts are CNC machined from billet aluminum. The mounts are then hardcoated, not bright anodized. The hardcoating process resists corrosion that can occur between steel and aluminum surfaces with regular bright anodizing. CNC machined stainless steel bevel washers are included. 17-4 stainless steel flanged body bolts are also available as an option.
Our mounts are available in either 1/2 height or stock height.
The body mount kit includes:
• 2 core support mounts with stainless steel bevel washers
• 4 body mounts with stainless steel bevel washers
Optional stainless body bolt kit includes:
• 2 polished 17-4 stainless steel bolts and nuts for core support mounts
• 4 polished 17-4 stainless steel bolts for body mounts

Active Region 2733: Just got done processing this monster (84 GB of raw data). This is Active Region 2733 which is the first set of sunspots in a while, so got a chance to try out my new camera.
