While flipping through my archive in search of a cheerful photo to ring in the weekend, I stumbled upon this mallard beauty queen. When I saw her at Planten un Blomen, a lovely park in central Hamburg, posing so nicely on a rock at a small pond, I knew I had to take her photo. Isn't she pretty? I could swear that she was smiling at me :)
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, dear Flickr friends :)
I finished this one a few weeks ago but haven't had time to post it yet. What do you guys think? Also if you guys have any ideas for vehicles I should build I am all ears.
Adopted by Oceania in 2031, the Dingo MBT sports a SABOT-firing railgun and coaxial M242 Bushmaster 25mm chain gun. The unmanned nature of the turret allows the typically protruding railgun to nest compactly on the left side of the armament platform. Operated by a skilled crew of two, the M5 is a quick and efficient weapon, feared by foes and adored by allies.
Banged this out in a two day span when I was home last week, really happy how it came out! Enjoy :-)
"Messier 5 (M5) is a bright globular cluster located in the northern constellation Serpens. It lies at a distance of 24,500 light years from Earth, in the galactic halo of the Milky Way."

Taken from the steps of Emirates Palace. The green building is the VIP access I posted in big yesterday. The tall white skyscraper is the brand new headquarter of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). See notes to explore the place.
Bored as can be in the hotel room. Decided to build LtBrick's M5 Stuart. Always love a new Stuey. :) Pretty sure I got the top correct. The front end, not sure.
It's been a long time coming but TMG has just launched its first ever Memorial Garden, called Memories. Honour those who you might have lost in this lovely garden setting. Comes with 3 separate rezzers 1.) Memorial Garden, 2.) Just a regular garden and 3.) A rezzer with a cut lawn rather than a meadow. This build is only available at the Swank Event and you can pick up a demo to try first.

This Globular Clusters in the constellation Serpens is one of the brighter in the sky. It photographs nicely at low exposures. Shot from Bortle 8 skies in New Orleans.

This image is a labor of love. Originally begun in 2022 and finally finished this year. It is comprised of images from 2 different telescopes, 2 different cameras, two types of binning, and 9 different exposure lengths. I had no idea how difficult it would be to marry all this data together. Finally, here it is.
Discovered in 1702 by the German astronomer Gottfried Kirch, M5 is one of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 6.7 and a location 25,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens, M5 appears as a patch of light with a pair of binoculars and is best viewed during May.
A majority of M5’s stars formed more than 12 billion years ago, but there are some unexpected newcomers on the scene, adding some vitality to this aging population.
Stars in globular clusters are believed to form in the same stellar nursery and grow old together. The most massive stars age quickly, exhausting their fuel supply in less than a million years, and end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions. This process should have left the ancient cluster M5 with only old, low-mass stars.
Yet astronomers have spotted many young, blue stars amongst the ancient stars in this cluster. Astronomers think that these laggard youngsters, called blue stragglers, were created either by collisions between stars or other stellar interactions. Such events are easy to imagine in densely populated globular clusters, in which up to a few million stars are tightly packed together. Text from NASA/Goddard

M5 V2 is perhaps slightly better. V2 used a masked stretch, which made the stars smaller but resulted in a clouded overall look. In V3 I decided to go with a more conventional stretch for better clarity. Now in V4 I've used all my tricks, and its made a marked improvement. Well, perhaps not all my tricks. In V5 I used a layered approach, stretching the stars until they neared saturation, then removing them, then repeat with dimmer stars. This did a better job exposing some of the core.
This is one bad-ass BMW M5. Customized Eisenmann exhausts, Hamann wheels, carbon front spoiler and several other carbon parts are fitted on the car. The engine was upgraded from 507 bhp to somewhere just over 550 bhp.
Dont't forget to comment and fav if you like it.
