The closest star system to the Earth is the famous Alpha Centauri group. Located in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur), at a distance of 4.3 light-years, this system is made up of the binary formed by the stars Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, plus the faint red dwarf Alpha Centauri C, also known as Proxima Centauri.
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has given us this stunning view of the bright Alpha Centauri A (on the left) and Alpha Centauri B (on the right), shining like huge cosmic headlamps in the dark. The image was captured by the Wide-Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). WFPC2 was Hubble’s most used instrument for the first 13 years of the space telescope’s life, being replaced in 2009 by Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) during Servicing Mission 4. This portrait of Alpha Centauri was produced by observations carried out at optical and near-infrared wavelengths.
Compared to the sun, Alpha Centauri A is of the same stellar type, G2, and slightly bigger, while Alpha Centauri B, a K1-type star, is slightly smaller. They orbit a common center of gravity once every 80 years, with a minimum distance of about 11 times the distance between Earth and the sun. Because these two stars are, together with their sibling Proxima Centauri, the closest to Earth, they are among the best studied by astronomers. And they are also among the prime targets in the hunt for habitable exoplanets.
Using the European Space Organization's HARPS instrument, astronomers already discovered a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B. Then on Aug. 24, 2016, astronomers announced the intriguing discovery of a nearly Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone orbiting the star Proxima Centauri

Click on the image to Zoom In & Out on the Bubble Nebula. The "Bubble" is tagged in the image.
A widefield LRGB and SHO (SII+Ha+OIII) Narrowband image of the Bubble and Lobster Claw Nebula. The Bubble Nebula is also know as NGC 7635, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11 (a H II region emission nebula) in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the open star cluster Messier 52.
Also take a look at a closer view of the Bubble Nebula.
The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522). The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.
The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sharpless 157), is a bright emission nebula, and is clearly visible at the bottom right.

Every day I leave my praxis at lunchtime, grab my camera and walk through the city of Bochum, Germany just for one hour.
Trying to get a good shot, which is not so simple, because it is NOT a nice city !!!

The Sun in H-alpha provides us with a stunning view, revealing the dynamics of its atmosphere. In this wavelength, we appreciate the impressive prominences, filaments, and sunspots. Prominences are gigantic structures of ionized gas that rise from the solar surface, creating immense loops and arcs. In contrast, filaments are dark lines that extend along the surface where the gas is colder and denser. We can also observe the sunspots, dark and magnetically active regions that indicate areas of intense solar activity. This fascinating H-alpha view allows us to delve into the secrets and wonders of the Sun.

Enson potbank on Short Street, Longton was built by John Proctor in 1843; in 1870 it was bought by Middleton and Hudson and renamed the Alma Works, later becoming the Delphine Works. The factory was then purchased in 1948 by Spencer Stevenson & Co who specialised in domestic bone china and hotelware and renamed it the Enson Pottery Works. Production ceased in 1963 and the Grade II listed bottle kilns and range were largely derelict by 1998 when the site was purchased by Stoke City Council who renovated the historic site and built a modern extension to create the Centre of Refurbishment Excellence (CORE) used for IT development, education and business. The discarded object in the foreground shadows may be of interest. The water closet has been produced in vast numbers in the Potteries since 1849, the nickname for which has an intriguing etymology. The term, and indeed the bodily function associated with it, is said to have come about from the Yorkshire plumber Thomas Crapper (1836-1910) who was the first to display a flushing lavatory, in his London sanitaryware showroom. The popularity of the indoor flushing toilet was greatly increased when Thomas was granted a Royal Warrant in 1888 by Prince Albert (later King Edward VII) for supplying thirty porcelain lavatories with cedarwood seats to Sandringham House. Every cistern and toilet supplied from then on was branded 'The Venerable Thomas Crapper and Company'. The term 'crapper' entered popular use when American Servicemen stationed in England in WW1 saw his name cast into the front of the cistern and it soon became army slang for relieving the bowels, as in "I'm going to the crapper".

Why Earl Gray?
It's his nickname. He is secretly called that because you never see you eat. But no matter where he shows up, after a few minutes he has a cup of wonderfully scented Earl Gray in his hand. That fact is scary XD

Slowly the ground level is coming together. Here are a couple of shots from the entrance area. These are yet to be populated, still working on all the mesh figurines for them.
One IMPORTANT NOTE to early visitors: Until today I have never built with/for the advanced lighting model, knowing that not everyone has sufficient graphic cards for that. However, this time I went for broke and went the full hog. So, if you want to see the place the way it looks in the images here (these are raw screenshots that I did not play around with at all) you will need to have your shadow settings on full (sun/moon and projectors), and ambient occlusion has to be on also. And if you want to use a different sky to what I have on the sim, your Est. Angle needs to be set to 0.239 or as close to that as you can get it, and the day time needs to be 7.27 AM, since otherwise the shadows don't fall correctly and everything looks rather flat.
I do apologize to everyone whose graphics setup does not allow for advanced lighting. But, this time around the shadows made such a big difference that I really couldn't do without them.
