The Jovian System!
The Planet Jupiter & Galilean Moons last night.
Seeing was boiling...so I went down to lower power to get Jupiter & the Nicely placed Galilean Moons. I ran the Chip ROI at 1280 x 400 @30fps to fit them all in.
Jupiter with Ganymede, Io, Callisto, & Europa. Turned out okay..C8 at Prime focus with the QHY5IIL CCD camera, (1800 frames) 600 frames each RGB, Stacked in Registax, then RGB combined in Maxim DL.
Best Regards,

JoeyStarr has been a hip-hop musician for more than 20 years, once specially known for being one of the two members of the controversial, but talented, band "NTM". Time won or made him wiser.
He's mainly acting in family-friendly comedy movies now.
CSXT 1972 has arrived in Chicagoland as the leader of M512 from Nashville to the BRC. Here, the locomotive proudly displays its "Family Lines System" livery - the number 1972 representing the year of the system's formation - as it gets signals through Steger, IL to approach the diamond crossing with CN at Chicago Heights.
I'm quite sad I can't get a gray border around the D-pad. Revamp of an old MOC, and I think it's quite a bit better. Video
Ferrahk, Rahkshi of Magnetism.
A dangerous beast that has the power to control magnetic fields around it. Having this power has lead to getting spots of ferrofluids around it's body, hence all the little black spikes.
(my take on one of many Rahkshi powers, it's not trying to be looking canon or anything) .
Classic Space Maths: 6980+6952+1979=927. LL927 combines the functions of 6980 Galaxy Commander and 6952 Solar Power Transporter with the style of 1979.
So, this is LL927, a combination of Lego Classic Space 6980 Galaxy Commander and 6952 Solar Power Transporter in 1979 design.
I hope you like it! :-))
Right now it's my favourite Classic Space model in my collection. There are so many possibilities to combine the sections and play around with them, even as an AFOL... :-))

Shaniko History
As the five transcontinental railroad systems opened the United States to enormous economic growth from 1862 - 1893, the spur called “The Columbia Southern Railway” would open the eastern interior of Oregon for easier more profitable business. Papers were filed by the railroad company in 1897 to run track from the Columbia River at Biggs to a high grassland spot above the old stage stop of Cross Hollows. This was only to be a temporary terminus location and was decidedly named Shaniko.
Cross Hollows was operated by second owner, August Scherneckau from 1874-1887. He was well liked by the Indians, who could not pronounce his German name correctly. They called him 'Shaniko', thus the name chosen for the new and promising city. The Townsite Company bought the land from the third owner for $3,500 in 1899 as the railroad continued to lay track down through Sherman County. The Townsite Co. platted the town into thirty blocks. On May 13, 1900, the first train arrived to a few buildings and the tents that were pitched all over for the 170 or so people living in the infant town. The first wooden building built, a saloon, was operational.
Unfortunately, the railroad tracks could not to go any further than Shaniko due to terrain issues and the great railroad race of Harriman and Hill built tracks from the Columbia River along the Deschutes River, headed to Bend from 1908 to 1911. This put an end to the trek many grain farmers and livestock ranchers from the south previously made to Shaniko. The city, however, continued to meet many needs while approaching the slow decline. Most of the business district perished in a major fire in 1911; some never to be rebuilt. The people moved away, a few taking their homes with them. Though the railroad stopped service to Shaniko in 1942, people continued to live in the town.
Shaniko, Oregon is still classified as a Ghost Town even though people still live there. Once a place of legitimate community and commerce, it now survives as a shadow of its former existence. Ghost towns are categorized into three types: one still inhabited, one deserted, and one known only by the ground it once occupied.
With new interest in historic places in the 1960's, economic life began a slow revival. Today, the West lives on in Shaniko, as the community sees restorative changes and hosts events put on by the the City of Shaniko, Shaniko Chamber of Commerce and the Shaniko Preservation Guild. It’s a nice place to stay or just stretch your legs. The sunsets are beautiful and the sky can take you back a hundred years.
Hey everyone!
So, I'm actually posting something quite new for the first time in a very long while and I actually feel good about it. It was my friend's (the one in the photo) mom's birthday yesterday and she invited me and a couple of other close people out for dinner to celebrate and it was actually quite fun. Drank so much champagne and ate too much and just had adult conversations with the other people there. I took this just before we left for the party and it was totally spontaneous. There's something about this that takes me back to my older photos and I really love my older photos so yeah, I might start focusing on taking photos like these.
Anyway, more exciting news. I'm going to be taking new photos this coming week and I'm so excited. I've been meaning to take my camera out for a spin because I've been feeling a bit rusty lately (in terms of taking photos, editing, updating etc) so yeah, new stuff coming
Thanks for the support (comments, views, favorites, etc) and for everything so far! I know that I haven't been updating that much but that'll hopefully change soon.

What better way to spend Christmas Eve than to do a bit of night photography and Santa spotting.
Unreal clear night sky tonight. No planes. Crystal clear. Beautiful
Waste Management Moreno Valley
Unincorporated Perris/Riverside, CA

Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can
Back in November, WMmaster626 and I went to Moreno Valley and found a truly one of a kind refuse truck, especially in SoCal! A Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can, unfortunately we were not able to film it in November and often WMmaster626 and I would talk about the superlight and wanting to film it. So on 1/22/16 we went to Waste Managements Moreno Valley MRF, waited for the Superlight to arrive and followed it to Unincorporated Perris/Riverside. During our November visit we spoke to a real nice driver named Dave who has been with WM for 27 years. We talked to him for a while and eventually NEWCO Waste Systems got brought up and he talked about WM Moreno Valley getting some of their routes in 1999. Unincorporated Perris/Riverside is the area Dave must have been talking about. Many of the NEWCO carts WMmaster626 has filmed in Arcadia were in this area. There were NEWCO zarns, 96 gallon blue and black toters even black and blue Rehrigs and of course 96 gallon black Turn-Keys along with NEWCO dumpsters that were still blue with NEWCO logos on them. We also found a Heil Python on route that was fun to watch.
So between the Superlight, the Python and perhaps the biggest shock, a ex NEWCO route it was a great day full of surprises. Thank you WMmaster626 for coming and arranging today, Thank you John (Superlight) and Raul (Python), you are both very professional and efficient drivers. I would also like to Thank John Curotto and the Curotto staff who made this awesome carry can. AFL’s have always been my favorite refuse truck. I grew up with S.T.S. Autobuckets, Heil Autocans and of course Curotto cans, so thanks for making this amazing carry can!
Invented in 2009, the Superlight is a Curotto can that is lighter than the Slammin Eagle. The dumpter is primarily made of special high strength Kevlar fabric and weighs only 1,200 pounds (compared to a Slammin Eagle which is closer to 2,000 pounds).

At last, Endor System.
Took me a few months of waiting to get that gas giant at 50% discount though :)
So happy, as this system is the home of most of my Lego cartoon stories.

GP38 #3829 brings westbound SLN3 into Niagara Falls, NY on 9/1/85. In the early days of the Sea-Land landbridge service some containers moved on regular flats. When this happened the preferred routing was the C&O route west of Buffalo through Canada to Detroit & Chicago as it was shorter and required fewer crews. When double stacks were used, the B&O west of Buffalo to New Castle, PA and beyond was used as the Detroit River tunnel on the C&O could not accommodate high cars at that time.(CSS1228c)
A project sponsored by the German kitchen manufacturer Miele. We designed a hydroponic cultivation system for growing vegetables in the home.
“It’s very juicy to twirl your mustache and figure out why people do the horrible things that they do. It’s not just because they are evil, but because that’s how they somehow explain the world to themselves and justify themselves. It’s always interesting figuring out how that happens.” ~Zeljko Ivanek
When I first saw this gundam I can honestly say I hated the design, but hours of Xbox playing it on Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, got me to appreciate the unique design. :)

Got home late last night from the SOAD show and had to get up early for work. I'm gonna take a nap then work on the crazy backlog of interviews, reviews and photos for the site.
Enhanced Omnibot's UNO stack is on-line. Yes, he really does say "Systems... Activated... " on startup. Note how red+green+blue LED output can be mixed on the RGB 8x8 matrix panel, in this case giving white. The camera has also picked up the base unit's infra red emitters..
Got my pay check
I'm a slave to the post
Check my parting balance
Purchase you the most
Count All the sand I've spun
All the grass I've smoked
Await your royal delivery
unwrap your monthly shine
Slave to foundry, System and reboot
Gonna buy you a zirconia smile
With all the paper I can suit
I beat an empty tune
Waiting to receive
I'll Sing you my barcode blues
System and reboot
Need to burn this table
Strip those temple doors
But they just keep making
And I just keep buying
System moc I made. First time I made something mostly System. I think it turned out well, fragile as all hell, but turned out alright. Anyways, I present you Emperor Mu Stache
