*Transmission*
We have tracked the crazed criminals after there escape from Sector 17 to an old and long since abandoned hideout. We are no commencing with a battle between our own Galactic Enforcement division and the criminals. We currently have the upper hand and hope to contain the criminal with little to no casualties.

I was going along the lines of the FBI of Space Police or as I call them the Galactic Enforcement. I plan to continue this with maybe a few other MOCs, but anyone interested (if anyone?) can try them out. I found this one a load of fun to come up with.
Since there was no time for shots because of work, I decided to edit some old photos.
This is a composition of 2 shots.
For the sky (milky way) : 20s - f/2.8 - ISO 2000.
For the foreground : 20sec - f/14 - ISO 100.
I have wanted to do this shot for a long time. The Milky Way rises in this position only on a certain part of the year. There haven’t been many clear nights lately and I had to capture it on a moonless night. On this night of March 20th, all the right conditions were met and I set out to the national park at 2 AM. It was very peaceful; I had the area all to myself. Hearing the low rumble of Halema’uma’u Crater filled me with awe.

A second longer, lower ISO exposure was blended for the mountain and trees to reduce noise in those areas.

The Galactic Centre where a Super Massive Black Hole resides is straight above in the skies zenith. The Milky Way season in the Southern Hemisphere is about midway, now you begin notice just after sunset the MW is well up in the sky and setting almost horizontally in the west by sunrise the following morning.
A cold windy night, single exposure pointing straight up :)
A double outhouse with the MIlky Way shining in the sky above it at the abandoned Niland Marina County Park along the Salton Sea.
I illuminated the toilets with some LED candles. Since I'm feeling crappy right now as I'm sick with a cold, I figured it was fitting that I process and post this photo before I head back to bed.
Shot on September 20, 2019 with a Canon 6D and Sigma 15mm EX DG lens at 10 sec f/2.8 ISO 3200. I shot a total of 17 exposures and then a median stack for noise reduction.

While I was exploring this location on the weekend I almost fell down this hole which was near the cliff edge at Point Malcolm Lighthouse on Lake Alexandrina. When I looked down I could see light down there so thought there might have been access via some kind of cave. I was right, and this was the view later on in the evening when the galactic core passed overhead.

The zodiacal light is dust in plane of the solar system reflects sunlight and is visible as a faint glow of light from the lower left extending upwards to the center of the photo.
The bright "star" at the upper right is the planet Jupiter

"Hello what have we here?"
Oh gosh I just can't say how looooong I was waiting for this minifig! I had a chance to see early concepts and since then I've been dreaming of a day to have my own CC Lando.
And boom! Here it is!
Just another fantastic design, kudos to Phoenix Customs Bricks!
Hope you like it guys!
As we journeyed our way across the Southwestern United States, we stopped in many places that were just amazing to see. This is the Mojave Air and Space Port, just outside Mojave, CA. One of our favorite places to visit through the years.
Many things go on at this port, including the testing and launching of such projects as Virgin Galactic, SpaceShipOne, and Space-X. Just beside it you see a familiar sight in California, even before they were popular; huge wind turbines spin on every side of the famous Tehachapi Pass.

This is my 1st Milkyway image of 2019 and what a great start too
It never fails to amaze me looking at the night sky and all its wonders and thinking to myself what must be out there looking back at us and yes i am a believer in the unknown beyond planet Earth
It was great to capture the mist channeling through the valleys whilst witnessing the awesome scenes of the night sky and milkyway and just seeing the galactic core for a short period of time
2 Planets are present in this composition which are Jupiter the bright white star and Venus being the Gold colour star
Looking forward to many more night shoots and hope weather plays ball
Thank you for all you amazing comments very much appreciated
Moon rising around 4:00 brighten up the sky as blue hours starting and Milky Way slowly fade away into the morning lights. Here’s a shot when the crescent moon meet the horizon. With Mercury on it’s right just above the mountain range.
Thanks for viewing!
I created this image at Dreaming Frog boulder area in July and edited it only recently. The image is comprised of three rows to capture the galactic core which was about to pass directly overhead, and was shot with the moon at 27% which lit the foreground beautifully. The neighbouring galaxies of the LMC and SMC are clearly visible above some light pollution I think from the town of Narrogin. My mate Steve Paxton had already been to this side of the rocks and shot this scene with his 14mm checkout his images too.

The image is a 26 frame three row panorama.

Not so far into the future, humanity has expanded it's territory across the galaxy. But other creatures and organizations are not as accepting as the Galactic Peace Corps. The galactic Navy is one of the tools the GPC uses to keep the peace.

This Hubble Space Telescope captures a three-way gravitational tug-of-war between interacting galaxies. This system —known as Arp 195— is featured in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, a list which showcases some of the weirder and more wonderful galaxies in the universe.
Observing time with the Hubble Space Telescope is extremely valuable, so astronomers don't want to waste a second. The schedule for Hubble observations is calculated using a computer algorithm which allows the spacecraft to occasionally gather bonus snapshots of data between longer observations. This image of the clashing triplet of galaxies in Arp 195 is one such snapshot. Extra observations such as these do more than provide spectacular images — they also help to identify promising targets to follow up with telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

At first I wanted to shoot large mozaic of Milky Way, but due to incoming calima I left with just a single panel total of 20 min. exposure time.
I hope some day i'll finish this project! :)
if you like it, feel free to comment or share! Thanks!:)

A spectacular trio of merging galaxies in the constellation Boötes takes centre stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These three galaxies are set on a collision course and will eventually merge into a single larger galaxy, distorting one another’s spiral structure through mutual gravitational interaction in the process. An unrelated foreground galaxy appears to float serenely alongside the collision, and the smudged shapes of much more distant galaxies are visible in the background.
This colliding trio — known to astronomers as SDSSCGB 10189 — is a relatively rare combination of three large star-forming galaxies lying within only 50 000 light-years of one another. While that might sound like a safe distance, for galaxies this makes them extremely close neighbours! Our own galactic neighbours are much further away; Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, is more than 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
This observation was designed to help astronomers understand the origin of the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe. These galactic behemoths are called Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and — as the name suggests — are defined as the brightest galaxies in any given galaxy cluster. Astronomers suspect that BCGs form through the merger of large, gas-rich galaxies like the ones in this image. They turned to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to investigate this galactic trio in painstaking detail, hoping to shed light on the formation of the Universe’s most massive galaxies.
[Image description: Three galaxies stand together just right of centre. They are close enough that they appear to be merging into one. Their shapes are distorted, with strands of gas and dust running between them. Each is emitting a lot of light. Further to the left is an unconnected, dimmer spiral galaxy. The background is dark, with a few smaller, dim and faint galaxies and a couple of stars.]

A friend suggested I take a horizontal shot of the Milky Way as most of my previous attempts have been at various angles. So I went for it, this is a total of 27 frames at 30 seconds each. The Galactic Centre was almost at Zenith, trees which have been cropped out framed each end of the panoramic. I hope you like it : )
I found a lovely lily blooms in the Milky Way.
She was singing. Amazing Voice.

Milky Way over Eagle Lake in Acadia NP, Maine.
On my recent fall photography excursion to Acadia National Park, Maine, I spent several hours exploring the banks of Eagle Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Acadia. I finally settled on this location where I found the shoreline rock to be most interesting. With not a cloud in the sky, I knew it would be challenging to create a compelling sunset image so decided to switch gears into "Astro" mode. This is a blend of two photos; one just after sunset for the foreground and distant mountains, and another about an hour later for the night sky.
