Stillness of nightfall permeates my total being. Left helplessly to navigate the impending darkness! How thrilling it is!

An orbital and deep space weapons platform that was designed to take on vessels of a much larger size and perform long range planetary bombardments.
It's classified FTL drive meant it could appear anywhere and large centred gyroscopes provided quick unpredictable maneuverability at slower speeds. Heavily armed with radioactive kinetic projectiles and heavy lasers meant there was no target to large for engagement.
This is probably my largest starfighter to date, but is not quite finished pretty - waiting on a few bricklink parts and then some slight revisions might be made.
In the center area is an unfinished hollow cargo hold and the cockpit area might be modded to fit a fig.
It is a combination of these (which were heavily damaged in the recent move)

and an idea I had in an LDD build.

Despite my recent photo entitled "Last one until 2021", I have to bring you one more post featuring the partial lunar eclipse on Wednesday, July 17.
This collage is made up of nine single photos that were shot over 90 minutes, starting during the penumbral phase of the eclipse. The partial eclipse proper–the "umbral" phase–commenced at 6:01 am where I was viewing and shooting from at Sandringham, Sydney, Australia. You can see the earth's shadow consuming more of the Moon's disk as between the first and last images. The Moon's colour changes throughout the photo, due to the effects of atmospheric refraction near the horizon.
I used my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Sigma 50-500 mm lens to capture the source photos for this collage. The shutter speed and aperture were varied depending on the Moon's brightness against the background sky, which changed as sunrise came closer.
M31 or more commonly known as the Andromeda galaxy is the nearest galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy. Its’s 2.5 million light years from Earth. The galaxy is actually pretty bright and can be seen as a smudge with the naked eye if viewed from a dark sky site. In approximately 4-5 billion years Andromeda will collide with our own Milky Way and merge and form either into a giant elliptical or lenticular galaxy.
My version of this often imaged deep sky object is my second attempt at it. I first imaged this a little over a year ago when I first started down the astrophotograpy rabbit hole. At the time, I thought my first image was pretty good but looking back now, it wasn’t all that great! Fast forward to the present and after a major investment in better astrophotography equipment, accessories and software. I have my best image of Andromeda.
I shot this entirely using a Hydrogen-alpha / Oxygen III (HA/OIII) narrowband filter. I honestly didn’t know how it would turn out but as an experiment it turned out really well. This was also my most ambitious project to date as I put 22 hours into the image. This spanned 5 nights.
This was a beast to post-process. I ended up with nine Photoshop iterations of this image. I’ve been working up to this final image for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Either the colors bothered me or the image didn’t seem bright enough. In the future, I might put more hours into this image and collect the faint HA data surrounding Andromeda but 100+ hours seems pretty daunting! 🤔

Not pressed, scattered on the floor without a plan, this quilt still spells AWESOME! Love these blocks my One Scrappy Bee peeps are sending me!

Chinese name: 陆风X9 (lùfēng X9)
Year of launch: ?
Landwind is a famous Chinese manufacturer because it sold the SUV, a copy of the Isuzu MU/Amigo/Rodeo, and CV9 (Fashion/Fengshang) models in a couple of countries in Western Europe. The Landwind X6 was launched in 2007 and was an updated version of the Landwind SUV. A three-door version of the SUV/X6 is sold as Landwind X9. Moreover Landwind is (in)famous for making a copy of the Range Rover Evoque. It was actually this car, the Landwind X7, that finally moved the carmaker forward in terms of sales. The X8 is Landwind's largest SUV since 2009. It is an unlicensed copy of the second generation Mitsubishi Outlander, even though it has a different look from the outside. The interior bears much stronger resemblance to the Outlander though. The Landwind X5 was launched in 2012 and is the most original Landwind SUV.
The X9 is probably by far the rarest Landwind SUV.
Now approaching three months of service with Go North East are the batch of seven Volvo B5TL/Wright Gemini 3s, 6308-6314. Personally, after doing one full run from Newcastle to Middlesbrough on the X10 with 6309, I quite like the type and think they're not an unsuitable successor to the B9TLs that previously operated the X9/X10. 6311 (NK67 EBD) is pictured at Heworth Metro with a Newcastle-bound X9 on the evening of Friday 24th November 2017.
Stumbled across this little gem when we left the tavern at the Brocken to get back to the valley.

Having entered service in September 2017, 6309 (NK67 ECE) is pictured rounding Middlesbrough Bus Station with an X9 for Newcastle. This batch of vehicles, Volvo B5TL/Wright Gemini 3s, are the first of their kind with Go North East, and seem to often be mistaken at face-value for the StreetDecks allocated to service X21.
