ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM by the Moody Blues
Are You Sitting Comfortably
Ray Thomas and Justin Hayward
Take another sip my love
And see what you will see
A fleet of golden galleons
On a crystal sea
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell...
Ride along the winds of time
And see where we have been
The glorious age of Camelot
When Guinevere was Queen
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell...
The Seven Wonders of the World
He'll lay before your feet
In far-off lands, on distant shores
So many friends to meet
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell...

“Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?”
--- Moody Blues album – “Days of Future Past”
And cold it was under this moon. Well below freezing and even wearing a heated vest and clasping handwarmers it was not a night to spend much time at the telescope.
Moon when 10 days past New Moon and phase at 77% of Full Moon. Photo taken with a 155mm refractor and a Nikon D810 camera.
Milan, NM. Yet another late afternoon "cold" thunderstorm system moves in. Title by the Moody Blues, "Tuesday Afternoon"
When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead,
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying,
Came to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying.

Ispired by the Moody Blues, the JM-480 Xennon is tear drop shaped and is a favorite sports bike of the residence of Pelagia City on Aquis. The bike it self is quiet and stealthy, but has a HD radio with a stereo system installed. A interstellar radio is optional. Music can be heard from the bikes speakers, or through a wireless helmet with noise cancellation. It's also comfortable, reliable, water proof, and is often used for island hopping. With a top speed of 400 MPH, the bike can easily travel between Pelagia City and the nearest floating city of Waterford in less than 1 hour, far quicker than any boat.
With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be
A small part
Of a hope
Of a love
That exists
In the eyes of a child you will see...

Version C - Same stack as version A, but stretched to show all the faint hidden detail captured in the outer parts of the nebula with no regard for the brightness of the background sky or for overexposing the core of the nebula. The full shape of the Running Man Nebula is visible in the top left. I didn't make any effort to balance the colours in this one.
50x 30 second exposures were stacked and stretched with PixInsight 1.6, using a Skywatcher 190mm Maksutov Newtonian on an LXD75 mount. Shot with a Canon T1i at prime focus at ISO800.
I used no calibration frames (darks or flats), instead let PI's hot pixel remover work during stacking and reduced the sky glow and vignetting using the Dynamic Background Extractor tool in PI.
Image was sharpened mildly and rescaled to 90% to reduce the file size, and saved to PNG format using The Gimp.
I shot 80x 30 second exposures, dropped the exposures where the stars were not quite round.

Have a glorious weekend my dear ones - lud*
"Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.
cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you."
Moody Blues › Nights In White Satin
Man always travels along precipices... His truest obligation is to keep his balance.
Pope John Paul II
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
penny is spent
Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
-Moody Blues

I don't know what it is about this picture that draws me in. I keep coming back to it and this time I did some work and got rid of all the dust and scratches that were on the scan. Something to do with the lighting and the anonymity of the central figure captivate me. Worth seeing large.
Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late; wasn't where I should have been
For goodness sake what's happening to me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
It was cold outside my door
So many people by the score
Rushing around so senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
They don't know what they're playing
They've no way of knowing what the game is
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
It's over; will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty two metres, in the thick blanket of mist prior to the magic of the Golden Hour around sunrise (Sunrise was at precisely 04:42am), at 03:23am on Thursday 19th June 2014 off Lullingstone Lane beside the Lullingstone Roman Villa in Eynsford Viaduct in the village of Eynsford, Kent, England.
Just to the far right you can see the Eynsford Viaduct. This impressive nine-arched red-brick viaduct is a prominent feature on the line to the 'Bat & Ball' station. The structure was built by the independent ''Sevenoaks Railway'', incorporated in 1859 to link the ''Chatham'' main line with the market town of Sevenoaks. And first services began on 2nd June 1862. The viaduct has nine arches of 30-foot span, and rises to a height of 75-feet above the valley and the River Darent.

A good view of the auditorium with its amazing Moorish village scene above the proscenium and along the upper walls. This is a real treasure, thankfully now preserved. Many will remember this building, not just as a vast picture house, but also as a live venue for popular artists of the fifties and sixties. Pre-eminent would be The Beatles, who staged their Christmas show here for about 10 nights in December 1963 and January 1964, supported by The Fourmost, Billy J Kramer, Cilla Black and others whose names I've forgotten. The show was hosted by Rolf Harris. In 1971 the cinema was closed, but reopened as The Rainbow and was host to every important act in rock and pop in the seventies - Pink Floyd, Genesis, Santana, Little Feat, Moody Blues, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Doobie Brothers, Yes, Van Morrison, Donovan, John Martyn....... the list goes on and on.

Make It Interesting ~ Challenge #3 (Wreath)
Starter image with thanks to Muffet
I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
All the world surrounds me, and my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
All the world astounds me, and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see...
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind,
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
Cos he can't see what you and I can see.
