Got quite a few "twerky" angles on this trip, not all of them worked well however this one seemed to come out well.
The only thing that bugs me here is the distracting lens flare... Sure I will photoshop it away eventually :)

A fully functional Launch Abort System (LAS) with a test version of Orion attached, launches on NASA’s Ascent Abort-2 (AA-2) atop a Northrop Grumman provided booster on July 2, 2019, at 7 a.m. EDT, from Launch Pad 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. During AA-2, the booster will send the LAS and Orion to an altitude of 31,000 feet, traveling at Mach 1.15 (more than 1,000 mph). The LAS’ three motors will work together to pull the crew module away from the booster and prepare it for splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. The flight test will prove that the abort system can pull crew to safety in the unlikely event of an emergency during ascent. Photo credit: NASA/Tony Gray and Kevin O’Connell

While digitising my early work I came across a photograph of my original Pentax system, circa 1980. Medium format color negative was taken with a Mamiya C330 that I had borrowed at the time. My Pentax system was put together in just a couple of years. Definitely my most precious possessions at the time. Funny how my long-term memory is different to reality. I was sure that I had a black MX. However, turns out that it was a black ME, a silver MX and a silver KM. I remember that the KM was later stolen and I'm sure that I then purchased a silver ME super from the insurance - as I remember the 'manual' buttons on the top of the camera.
From left-to-right.
Tamron zoom (70-200mm?)
Pentax KM
Pentax K extension tubes
Sunpac Auto zoom 3400 (still have this and working perfectly)
Pentax MX with Pentax 55mm f1.8
Pentax 100mm f4 Macro
Soligor 400mm f6.3 (still have this lens)
Pentax ME with Pentax 35mm f3.5
Pentax 300mm f4
Pentax 200mm f4
By late 1981 I had added a Pentax 24mm f2.8 - which I still have and then later a Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 pancake.
I've since repurchased all of the above - except for the pancake lens. (Still to get). Well actually a black ME might be difficult to track down.
Other difference is that I have the Pentax-M 35mm f2.8 rather than the 35mm f3.5 (that's close enough).
The hunt to track down these (and others) via eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace has been quite a thrill.
More importantly I've really enjoyed using the Pentax lenses adapted to my Sony mirrorless. Just feel at home in the way theses lenses operate. Finally, the MX is perfect in my hands and brings back so many memories.
One observation is that I must have decided that I had all that I needed - and didn't add any further lenses or cameras. There is probably a lesson in there somewhere.
Nowadays we have weak immune system in the body. It is very difficult to fight that virus called "technology addiction".
With this virus, we should blame oursleves or those technology giant companies?
Have a great evening!

System Shock was an early FPS with a lot of potential which got largely ignored in favor of shallow shootan.
Not quite the solar system as I only have 4 planets and the moon. These are left to right - Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and the moon. A series of individual photos stacked to show my efforts to date capturing the planets using a 150 mm Maksutov MK67 scope. I am hoping to update as I get better images of the planets, but success is reliant as much on technique as on finding a night with clear seeing.

Thats our way to get a well presentation for our minfigures.
There is a standard base for one minfigure wich can be connected with another one. Two bases are connected by the legs of a minifigure in the retral line. So you get two lines of minfigures with a great view of all of them.

“Fluid systems schematics – Transporter 220 PSIG GN² supply UT-9. (CX41) (110) (fs) R-11 F-9”
Or, something like:
Engineering photograph of the 220 PSI-gauge gaseous nitrogen supply interface near the base of the Centaur upper stage of the Titan-Centaur 1 (TC-1) launch vehicle. Taken from the 110-ft level of Umbilical Tower 9 (UT-9), now positioned at Launch Complex 41 (LC-41), this and other photographs are used to document pre-launch preparations.
The inaugural flight of the Titan-Centaur launch vehicle combination carried the Space Plasma High Voltage Interaction Experiment (SPHINX) and Viking Dynamic Simulator (VDS) as payloads. Originally, NASA wanted to only fly the VDS, a boilerplate Viking probe, but decided at the last minute to add SPHINX as a science payload. The experiment was to test the operation of high voltage power supplies in a vacuum.
Launch occurred at 9:48 a.m. EST (1448 GMT), 11 February 1974. The first two stages of the Titan boosters performed flawlessly, but the Centaur stage failed to ignite. After unsuccessful manual attempts to ignite the Centaur stage, the vehicle was destroyed by the Antigua Station Range Safety Officer at T+742 seconds. It was later determined that an improperly installed rivet inside the LOX tank had come loose and lodged in a fuel pump, resulting in the malfunction.
Although the vehicle was lost, two primary objectives were achieved. The Centaur payload shroud proved to be aerodynamic and stable during flight, and the Centaur had separated from the Titan boosters successfully. All remaining six launches of the Titan IIIE/Centaur were successful and the program continued until 1977. Future payloads included two Helios solar probes, both Viking Mars probes and both Voyager probes.

I don't understand the stenciled lettering of the white? panel near the upper left:
"REPLACE WITH
{What looks to be an alphanumeric part number maybe.}
NON-FLIGHT ITEM"
Huh?
Note also the two parallel rail lines, the means by which the Umbilical Tower/Mobile Launcher and whatever is on it, are transported throughout the ITL complex, to include LC-40 & 41. Twin diesel locomotives, working in unison, are the prime movers.

Art LeBrun, a damned good man, possessing VOLUMINOUS institutional knowledge of all things Cape Canaveral and more. ALWAYS gracious & generous in sharing his wisdom, observations and his many photos.
He is sorely missed.
Rest in Peace Art – on behalf of all of us – THANK YOU.
“Binary system seen from a hypothetical planet”
I’m assuming the oblate body to be a red giant, with its companion about to start tearing away it’s outer layers, possibly signified by the whitish & yellowish areas.
Fascinating, with possibly pertinent information with regard to the image:

No signature visible. The depiction of the planet’s surface, along with that of the stars look like they should provide a clue as to who rendered this. Alas, they do not. Searching the image, to include re-orienting it, didn’t help. Further thwarting searching the image, the depiction of binary systems was/is(?) very popular in astronomy artworks, hence a plethora being returned. So, this might be in there somewhere, but visually, they’re running together…so, at least for now, idk.
For stellar views such as this, and infinitely more, astronomical numbers at least, you must allot some time & treat yourself here.
Wow.
If you know anything - even passingly - WRT to astronomical art and the amazing artists who create such, you're likely to find someone you've heard of on the membership roster. Even if not, you will be amazed at the talent, the scope and vast variety of works available to peruse.
And as you'd expect, even their logo looks cool:
