My second AG-Systems build. I based this MOC off the AG-Systems that appeared in Wipeout HD/Omega collection (PS3/PS4) .
Astronomical seeing was pretty decent when I captured the Jupiter data for the image immediately proceeding this one. My optics were starting to dew over, to I replaced the front cover, waited for an hour and found that the dew heater had completely dried the front glass on my SCT. I slewed to Mars and found that astronomical seeing had dramatically worsened. Being at the telescope and ready for another capture, I did 10 iRGB runs of 45s per filter at gain 400. In processing I found the B channel completely unuseable and the G channel not much better. I tried combining the colors anyway, and the image barely looked like Mars. The R channel, captured in IR, looked pretty decent, so I salvaged what I could.

Visited some marvellous cave systems in Sardinia. Wow! Truly underground wonderlands! One of these cave systems was “La Grotta di Su Marmuri” (the Marble Cave) near the town of Ulassai, in Ogliastra on the eastern side of Sardinia. Su Marmuri is a mammoth cave complex festooned with curiously shaped and marble-like cave phenomenons. The cave’s name refers this particular marble-like colouration and aspect of the calcareous rock. The cavity of the cave is carved into the “Tacco di Ulassai” (the Heel of Ulassai), the limestone massif that dominates the island and overlooks the village. Su Marmuri is an alive cave, which means that concretions still continue to take shape. The cave system is considered among the most impressive in Europe thanks to its length and average height of 35 meters.
The cave’s entrance opens at 880 meter above sea level onto a steep scree slope, traversable thanks to a flight of 200 steps. The part of the cave system that can be visited stretches for some 850 metres. After descending, the cave tour takes you along an easy, though sometimes slippery, walkway that passes along small underground ponds fed by the incessant dripping, spectacular small basins, groups of stalactites, enormous stalagmites and columns, beautiful draperies hanging from the wall, and other spectacular concretions. The cave system consists of several impressive chambers with high ceilings. Among these chambers is the rectangular shaped ‘Great Hall’ (72x30 meters, the largest chamber), the ‘Organ Chamber’, whose concretions look like the pipes of the musical instrument, the ‘Cactus Chamber’ with two tall stalagmites similar to cactus plants, the ‘Bats’ Chamber’, the ‘Tunnel of the Small Basins’ (drip trays) and the ‘Terminal Chamber’. The temperature within the cave is constantly around 10°C.

This was really nice to wake up to. Spotted over on a Hong Kong gaming website, VJ Gamer, there is going to be a UCS-style NES on the horizon, 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System. Is this an elaborate fake? Nah, ’cause LEGO teased it on their social media this morning. You get a retro style TV […]

The planets of our solar system.
Mercury can be seen transiting the Sun which will happen again on November 11th 2019, Mars taken in near IR to see through a dust storm, Jupiter's moon Io and it's shadow are transiting the planet, and Neptune's moon Triton is visible to the lower left of the planet.
Of course, LEGO has its headquarters building in Micropolis, built in the shape of the stripes of their old logo. Called System House, it occupies a half block in the heart of downtown. Ref: D1564-076

The four women in charge of the effort to build and test the 212-foot-tall rocket stage that will enable NASA's first Artemis mission to the Moon watch as the first completed core stage for NASA's Space Launch System Program rolls out from the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans on Jan. 8, 2020. These key leaders are, from left, Lisa Bates, NASA Stages element deputy manager; Jennifer Boland-Masterson, Boeing Michoud production/operations manager; Julie Bassler, NASA Stages element manager; and, Noelle Zietsman, Boeing chief engineer. Each of these women manage the entire scope of design, development, testing and production of the complex core stage that will power the super heavy-lift rocket and the agency's Artemis lunar missions. Combined, the women have 90 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industries. Bassler and Bates previously held leadership positions within many NASA programs and projects, including International Space Station, space shuttle, microgravity experiments, robotic lunar landers and other launch vehicles. Â Manufacturing of the core stages for the SLS rocket is a multistep, collaborative process for NASA and Boeing, the core stage lead contractor. The first core stage for Artemis I is undergoing the core stage Green Run test series at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, ahead of the program's first launch. Michoud manufacturing teams are currently producing core stages for the second and third Artemis missions.
NASA is working to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with Orion and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon. SLS will be the most powerful rocket in the world and will send astronauts in the Orion spacecraft farther into space than ever before. No other rocket is capable of carrying astronauts in Orion around the Moon.

No need to stop at the gas station to refuel this vehicle, although an occasional stop for hay and water would help keep it running smoothly.
The engine has three donkey-power. Can you count all 12 legs?
On our visit to a local village in Zimbabwe, we were able to observe a style of life very different from our own and meet many wonderful local people, who seemed both very happy in their less complicated world, but at the same time very curious about ours.
See two of the local boys in comments below.

The 2K11 Krug (Russian: 2К11 «Круг»; English: circle) is a Soviet and now Russian long-range, medium-to-high altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. "2K11" is its GRAU designation, while SA-4 Ganef is its NATO reporting name. The system was designed by NPO Novator and produced by Kalinin Machine Building Plant.
Development of the Krug ZRK-SD (2K11) air defense system started in 1957 by the Lyulev OKB design bureau. It was first displayed during a parade in Moscow in May 1964. The system started to be fielded in 1967 and became fully operational in 1969. It was used by the Russian Army as a long-range SAM.
The early version of the Krug entered service in 1965. The first operational deployment version, the Krug-A, entered service in 1967, with extensively modified versions, the Krug-M in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974, which were developed to rectify problems discovered during army service.[1] The upgraded version Krug-M was fielded in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974. A target drone called 9M316M Virazh, developed from obsolete Krug missiles, was proposed for export in 1994.
The 2K11 was briefly operated by the Soviet army during the war in Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980, but was withdrawn several months after the initial invasion.[4] In 1997, it was reported[2] that, between 1993 and 1996, some 27 fire units of Krug and 349 missiles had been sold to Armenia. Poland flight tested four missiles in September 2006 against P-15 Termit (SS-N-2 'Styx') targets.
The missiles are launched with the aid of four solid fuel rocket motors inside boosters attached to the outside of the massive missile. Once they have burned and the missile is aloft, it fires a liquid-fuelled ramjet sustainer engine. It reaches speeds of up to Mach 4 and has an effective range of 50–55 km (31–34 miles) depending upon the version. It carries a 135 kg (300 lb) warhead. Possible engagement altitudes range from 100 m-27 km (330-88,500 feet). 3M8 missile was designed and produced by NPO Novator.
Missile guidance is via radio command with a terminal semi-active radar homing (SARH) phase. Optical tracking is possible for the initial command guidance stage in a heavy ECM environment.

Yes I did it again. Climbed to the top of Mt Coot-Tha at 6am! With camera this time. There was a lot of water and we had to wade through some fast flowing creeks after all that rain yesterday.
Not much to add that I haven’t already said in yesterday’s post revealing 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System. They did confirm a few things: The price is officially $229.99. The interactivity with the Mario brick won’t have him play the theme song, but instead has him react “to on-screen enemies, obstacles and power-ups just as he […]

I _finally_ got around to processing a few images from our trip to Vienna (I'd posted a fair number of SOOC during the trip).
This Windows Operating System pre-dates the Microsoft version by over 100 years.
This photo was taken by a Mamiya C-330 TLR medium format film camera and Mamiya-Sekor 1:2.8 f=80mm lens with a Mamiya 46ø Y2 SY48•2 filter using Kodak TMAX 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered in Photoshop.
