The container barge Altair Sentinel, with pilot ship Paducah Son, and heavy fighter escorts Fox and Hound, deployed. Two more "forklifts." and this build is finished!
Altair (Alfa Aquilae / α Aql / 53 Aql) es la estrella más brillante de la constelación de Aquila («El Águila»). Los árabes, que también veían en esta constelación una gran águila volando, la llamaron elnars-el-tair, de donde derivó el nombre de Altair.
Ocupa el duodécimo lugar en orden de brillo entre todas las estrellas del cielo. Su magnitud en banda B (filtro azul) es 0,99, su magnitud en banda V (filtro verde) es 0,77. Está a 16 años luz del Sistema Solar, acercándose a razón de 26 ,1 m/s.
Es un astro magnífico, unas cuatro veces más voluminoso que nuestro Sol, de tipo espectral A (color blanco, igual que Sirio) y muchísimo más joven, con sólo 630 millones de años de edad. La temperatura superficial de este tipo espectral oscila entre 7500 y 11000 K, y el espectro presenta líneas intensas del hidrógeno, el calcio ionizado y otros metales ionizados, además de líneas débiles del helio.
Esta estrella, junto con Vega (α Lyrae) y Deneb (α Cygni), configuran en el cielo del Hemisferio Norte lo que se conoce como el triángulo de verano, cuyo centro es la estrella Albireo (β Cygni).
Altair posee una de las velocidades de rotación más altas que se conocen, sólo inferior a las de las estrellas de neutrones y las enanas blancas. El periodo de rotación es sólo de 6 horas 30 minutos y sus estratos periféricos ecuatoriales se mueven a la velocidad de 250 km/s. La rápida rotación axial de Altair se supone que está relacionada con la joven edad de la misma y resalta inmediatamente al examinar el espectro, cuyas líneas aparecen considerablemente ensanchadas debido al claro desfase en longitud de onda, de la radiación emitida por las partes de la estrella que se aproximan, con relación a la que proviene de las que se alejan. Debido a las grandes fuerzas centrífugas que se desarrollan en el interior de su propia masa, la estrella ha tomado forma achatada y su diámetro ecuatorial es un 20% mayor que el polar. Asimismo se verificó el fenómeno propio de estrellas de alta rotación conocido como «oscurecimiento gravitatorio».
Altair es una variable de tipo Delta Scuti y una doble óptica: tiene una compañera de magnitud +10 que, por el movimiento propio de Altair, se está alejando de ella; actualmente la separación ha alcanzado un valor de 165 segundos de arco.

M44 beehive cluster in constellation Cancer. Taken on evening of 19/04/2023. Conditions clear but windy. Used Olympus OMD EM10 III hanging out the back of an Altair Starwave Ascent 102ED F7 scope mounted on Skywatcher HEQ5/Pro (not properly polar aligned, Altitude adjustment stuck solid). Took about 20 x 15 second lights at ISO 800. No dark, flats etc. Mangled in DSS/Gimp.
Visually, it's impressive and also took a butchers at M67 (King Cobra) which is nearby but smaller and fainter (no pics though). Looking at Castor (not far away) I was able to see the two stars that make it up by sing the Altair 9mm Lightwave Flat Field LER EP.
I managed part of the Leo triplet but lost focus and had tech issues. Went to bed.

Alpha Aquilae (AFI: /al-tair/ α Aql, α Aquilae) is a white main sequence star with magnitude +0.77, located about 17 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Aquila. It is the brightest star in the constellation and the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. it is also one of the closest to Earth. It is also one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle, being the other two Vega and Deneb. Its proximity to the celestial equator makes it observable from all populated regions of the Earth.
Altair is notable for its very rapid rotation on itself: by measuring the width of its spectral lines, it has been found that it performs a complete rotation on itself in just 8 and a half hours. By comparison, the Sun takes about 25 days to rotate on itself. This speed of rotation crushes the star to the poles, making it an oblate spheroid. Altair is also a Delta Scuti variable.

This frames the Milky Way from the bright star Altair in Aquila (at bottom left) up to Albireo in Cygnus (at top right). In between are the small constellations of Sagitta the Arrow and Vulpecula the Fox.
The well-known asterism called the Coathanger, aka Brocchi's Cluster or Cr399, is right of centre in the dark lane of dust. The small (on this scale) green globe of the Dumbbell Nebula or M27 is at upper left. The small globular cluster M71 lies along the arrow stars of Sagitta at centre. Above Altair is the orange star Tarazed and beside it is the dark nebula complex called Barnard's E or B142-143. The star cluster NGC 6885 is at upper left.
This is a stack of 10 x 2-minute exposures with the rare Samyang RF85mm lens at f/2.8, on the filter-modified Canon Ra camera at ISO 1000, and tracked on the Star Adventurer tracker. Taken from home on a very clear night Sept 10/11, 2023. The lens had a NISI Natural Night broadband light pollution reduction filter, to decrease gradients and boost contrast.
From the first Assassin's Creed. Yes the hood's painted, yes that's metallic ink on his arm and torso, and yes his tabbards are crooked.
Received this a couple of days ago, my first scope! Its a beast, much larger than i was expecting. First thing i did was remove the vixen dovetail bar and replaced it with my losmandy one, a scope of this caliber deserves a heavy plate to suit it! Been after the 115 for quite some time now but finally got the money together just in time for a production run (the 115 is only made in batches of 20)
This should serve me well for many years to come, looking forward to first light which may be tonight if the weather holds and i get everything running smoothly.
Was bored and crappy pic is crappy. But people at Brick Cascade can see it's horibleness(?) in person.

HMCS Ottawa, Arabian Gulf
Lieutenant (Navy) Simon Nadeau from Sherbrooke, Quebec, inspects Leading Seaman Andy O’Brien’s diving equipment prior to a diving evolution to inspect the hull of HMCS Ottawa while on deployment in the Arabian Gulf.
In early September, HMCS Ottawa left Esquimalt, British Columbia on deployment to the Arabian Gulf Region for six months to operate with coalition navies in the continuing campaign against terrorism known as Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
The Canadian Forces maritime contribution known as Operation ALTAIR will have the Halifax class Frigate HMCS Ottawa conducting surveillance patrols and maritime interdiction operations with her crew of about 230 officers and sailors with a CH-124 Sea King detachment.
