Back on the streets, I love these moments when all the pieces of the day click into place in the puzzle of life - dogs, people, sidewalks and buildings, just the pattern of interactions.
This image looks almost decent, but there are some issues that I want to work on. As for softness, I am well-collimated and I prefocused on Alderaban, but average seeing could be an issue. I can add an IR/UV cut filter. I noticed an image size issue in WINJUPOS when making the measurements in the wire frame. It seems that IR, which I used for the R channel, is much less intense than the G or B channels. Because of this the IR image appeared somewhat smaller than the G or B channel images. I am going to go back to using the Red filter for the R channel.

As heavy torrential rains pelted the east coast of New South Wales it left in its wake major to catastrophic flooding.
Camden did not escape the flooding with flood waters rising rapidly and causing massive damage.
In a somewhat ironic twist this irrigation system is surrounded by flood waters, in the meantime traffic still flows across the Macarthur Bridge.

Ram (0): Your ship’s bow tells the world that you’re tactically a madman, spatially conscious, and a little bit… dangerous.
This artist's concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance. One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, is about 30 AU.
Informally, the term "solar system" is often used to mean the space out to the last planet. Scientific consensus, however, says the solar system goes out to the Oort Cloud, the source of the comets that swing by our sun on long time scales. Beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, the gravity of other stars begins to dominate that of the sun.
The inner edge of the main part of the Oort Cloud could be as close as 1,000 AU from our sun. The outer edge is estimated to be around 100,000 AU.
NASA's Voyager 1, humankind's most distant spacecraft, is around 125 AU. Scientists believe it entered interstellar space, or the space between stars, on Aug. 25, 2012. Much of interstellar space is actually inside our solar system. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun. AC +79 3888 is actually traveling faster toward Voyager 1 than the spacecraft is traveling toward it.
The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The Voyager missions are a part of NASA's Heliophysics System Observatory, sponsored by the Heliophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Rail Express Sysytems liveried class 86/2 locomotive 86243 along with a Propelling Control Vehicle (PCV), head south past Heamies Farm, situated just north of Norton Bridge on the WCML.
Propelling Control Vehicle's (PCV) are former BR Eastleigh 1955 built Great Eastern Main Line Class 307 driving trailer cars, of which 42 were converted at Hunslet-Barclay in Kilmarnock between 1994 to 1996, so this very smart looking PCV could be one of the last converted on delivery.

For those of you interested in old marine architecture, I saw a pinsi with an old Bugis-Makassar steering system with two side rudders in Sunda Kelapa Harbour, Jakarta, Indonesia. The long port side rudder blade is visible just above the crewman's head, which is seen in a side opening in the ship. When underway, the two rudders are fixed to strong traverse thwarts projecting out on both sides of the aft part of the ship (seen here below the blade). During their heyday in the 1970's, several thousand pinisi, then the biggest fleet of sailing traders in the world, connected all the islands of the Indonesian archipelago.

The Solar System comprises the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets, their moons, and other non-stellar objects.
A most interesting duck, not only with its spoon shaped bill and its seemingly restless activity when feeding, but it is the 110 fine projections (lamellae) along its bill which are so interesting as it acts as a filtration system to keep those nutrients and seeds
Recording the last days & hours of the Reading trolleybus system in 1968, the photographer has chanced their luck in capturing this precious moment from a moving car. Hoping the camera has fully framed the passing trolleybus at speed, the outcome will remain an unknown until the film is processed and returned.
Successfully captured to slide film, the image shows Reading trolleybus 186 accelerating up Wokingham Road towards the Three Tuns terminus on Wokingham Road. The 17 route was a cross-town service that operated between Tilehurst to the West of the town, to the borough boundary at the Three Tuns pub, to the East of Reading.
The petrol station in the backdrop was situated on Wokingham Road at its junction with St Peter's Road. Today, the site still remains dedicated to cars, but as a Hertz car hire concern. Sadly, the stylish period garage canopy is no more, replaced by a cabin.
On a more positive note, the trolleybus (VRD186) still exists. The bus was sold by Reading to Teesside Municipal Transport in 1968. The bus was one of several ex Reading trolleys that were to supplement the small fleet of Teesside trolleybuses in Middlesborough. The Teesside system closed in April 1971, and 186 was chosen as the last official trolleybus to operate the network.
Latterly owned by the late David Brown, the bus is now destined to operate at the Beamish industrial Museum in Co Durham. The trolley will feature as part of their 1950s townscape, currently being constructed on site.
Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, Middle Point, Northern Territory, Australia.
The Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve is a wetland area approximately 70 km (43 mi) east of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. It lies within the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains, which is an Important Bird Area.
It attracts a wide range of local and migratory water birds and other wildlife including one of the largest populations of snakes within Australia (including the Water Python and Death Adder), and includes several raised observation platforms.
Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) and Freshwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) can be seen at Fogg Dam all year around. Fogg Dam is open 24/7/365.
Some chipping and rusting metal for Tuesday's Textures.
