Small 80mm x 60mm photograph. No correspondence.
Saxons from an unidentified formation inside a frontline trench circa 1916. There are several items of interest in this photograph, not least being the two trench clubs hanging against the walls of the trench. These crude but effective weapons were fashioned from a sturdy piece of timber and reinforced with hobnails or horseshoe nails at the "business end".
Also of note is the bugle that seems to be embedded in the door of the dugout.
Got the mother of all motherboards out again tonight. After zooming in to different parts of last night's shot I decided on this composition for this evening. Tripod swap for the two elements with the non modded Helios 44-2 mounted on the tubes. Board lit from below with torch n vape. Hit it from either side with red and blue gelled torches. Tripod swap to the selective masking using my phone and come black card.
Shot during a single lens capped long exposure with a raw conversion in LR with some minor fetling.

A formed metal “h” mounted on plywood and used for die cutting vinyl lettering. This character template is part of a large collection that I purchased at a Ribtor Warehouse surplus sale several years ago. The dies were originally used by Parks Canada for wayfinding and other signage within Banff National Park.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_443)
"Jellyfish Nebula" redirects here. Not to be confused with jellyfish galaxy.
IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. On the plane of the sky, it is located near the star Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth.
IC 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred 30,000 - 35,000 years ago. The same supernova event likely created the neutron star CXOU J061705.3+222127, the collapsed remnant of the stellar core. IC 443 is one of the best-studied cases of supernova remnants interacting with surrounding molecular clouds.
Global properties:
IC 443 is an extended source, having an angular diameter of 50 arcmin (by comparison, the full moon is 30 arcmin across). At the estimated distance of 5,000 ly (1,500 parsec) from Earth, it corresponds to a physical size of roughly 70 light years (20 parsec).
The SNR optical and radio morphology is shell-like (e.g. a prototypical shell-like SNR is SN 1006), consisting of two connected sub-shells with different centers and radii. A third, larger sub-shell—initially attributed to IC 443—is now recognized as a different and older (100,000 years) SNR, called G189.6+3.3.[1]
Notably, IC 443 X-ray morphology is centrally peaked and a very soft X-ray shell is barely visible.[2] Unlike plerion remnants, e.g. the Crab Nebula, the inner X-ray emission is not dominated by the central pulsar wind nebula. It has indeed a thermal origin.[3] IC 443 shows very similar features to the class of mixed morphology[4] SNRs. Both optical and X-ray emission are heavily absorbed by a giant molecular cloud in the foreground, crossing the whole remnant body from northwest to southeast.
The remnant's age is still uncertain. There is some agreement that the progenitor supernova happened between 3,000[3] and 30,000[5] years ago. Recent Chandra[6] and XMM-Newton[7] observations identified a plerion nebula, close to the remnant southern rim. The point source near the apex of the nebula is a neutron star, relic of a SN explosion. The location in a star forming region and the presence of a neutron star favor a Type II supernova, the ultimate fate of a massive star, as the progenitor explosion.
The SNR environment:
The SNR IC 443 is located in the galactic anticenter direction (l=189.1°), close to the galactic plane (b=+3.0°). Many objects lie in the same region of sky: the HII region S249, several young stars (members of the GEM OB1 association), and an older SNR (G189.6+3.3).
The remnant is evolving in a rich and complex environment, which strongly affects its morphology. Multi-wavelength observations show the presence of sharp density gradients and different cloud geometries in the surroundings of IC 443. Massive stars are known to be short lived (roughly 30 million years), ending their life when they are still embedded within the progenitor cloud. The more massive stars (O-type) probably clear the circum-stellar environment by powerful stellar winds or photoionizing radiation. Early B-type stars, with a typical mass between 8 and 12 solar masses, are not capable of this, and they likely interact with the primordial molecular cloud when they explode. Thus, it is not surprising that the SNR IC 443, which is thought to be the aftermath of a stellar explosion, evolved in such a complex environment. For instance, an appreciable fraction of supernova remnants lies close to dense molecular clouds (~50 out of 265 in the Green catalogue[8]), and most of them (~60%) show clear signs of interaction with the adjacent cloud.
X-ray and the optical images are characterized by a dark lane, crossing IC 443 from northwest to southeast. Emission from quiescent molecular gas has been observed toward the same direction,[9] and it is likely due to a giant molecular cloud, located between the remnant and the observer. This is the main source of extinction of the low energy SNR emission.
In the southeast the blast wave is interacting with a very dense (~10,000 cm−3) and clumpy molecular cloud, such that the emitting shocked gas has a ring-like shape. The blast wave has been strongly decelerated by the cloud and is moving with an estimated velocity of roughly 30–40 km s−1.[10] OH (1720 MHz) maser emission, which is a robust tracer of interaction between SNRs and dense molecular clouds, has been detected in this region.[11] A source of gamma-ray radiation[12] is spatially coincident with IC 443 and the maser emission region, though is not well understood whether it is physically associated with the remnant or not.
In the northeast, where the brightest optical filaments are located, the SNR is interacting with a very different environment. The forward shock has encountered a wall of neutral hydrogen (HI), and is propagating into a less dense medium (~10-1,000 cm−3) with a much higher velocity (80–100 km s−1)[10] than in the southern ridge.
In the western region, the shock wave breaks out into a more homogeneous and rarefied medium.

This is the largest species of orb weaving spider in the world. Although it is the size of a chocolate chip cookie, it is not in any way dangerous to humans and can be easily approached. The webs that this species constructs are equally impressive. Individual webs can measure up to 10-feet across and are strong enough to catch a small bird.

I was curious how Fairyland would install the head magnets and this came as a shock to me. They split them between the head cap and face plate. O_o Unlike previous head magnets, these are set lower and more forward then then other models. I'm assuming they wanted them more to the side so that the lamb ears fit. I had hoped that all minifees from this point on would have embedded head magnets, and that they would be fitted in the head cap making it an easy transition, but I can see now these were specifically made for Rin.
Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape. Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex. About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the lower left. The gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using three different telescopes. via NASA ift.tt/2i5mZbE
