The Vanguard is the bulk fighter of the Confederacy Navy. It's a light vessel designed to operate from both space carriers and ground bases. It can last a week on standby and a day in battles, such as short skirmishes and riot controls. When the power core is depleted it can be switched out easily at the base or with a resupply craft.
Dual tungsten rail guns can deal massive damage over long distances and the powerful shield protects the pilot from incoming hostiles. The angled position of the shield generators gives maximum protection to the cockpit from frontal attacks.
This is my entry in the Star Fighter category of Space Jam 2018!
Play features:
* Open the cockpit to access the pilot seat
* Replace the depleted power core

First build for my IronBuilder against Tim.
The seed part, the silver technic connector, was used 27 times.
There is this competition called Iron Builder, not sure if you heard of that yet. I finally got the time to join the adventure.
Of course entry for Febrovery as well.
I will do my best and I hope you enjoy!

The Police Striker is one of the most common ships in the Confederacy Galactic Police Force. It mostly patrols the outskirts of major Cities and Industrial areas. Always ready to strike at suspicious activity. Antigrav engines keeps it in the air while the quad thrusters gives it it's deadly speed. The wings are mainly for stabilization but can also be used for tight twists and turns. The Striker can fly in zero g but performs best in an atmosphere.
Abell36 is a planetary nebula that lies in the constellation of Virgo some 780 light years away.
It is very dim, not having much signal above the background sky. The 7 minute sub time that I used is longer than I usually like to go but it was necessary to bring out the nebula.
The nebula has formed from the central blue star. The star is blowing off its outer layers as it transforms to a dwarf star.

Equal parts dreaded and respected, the Typhon Class Weaponship has served with distinction within the CNC for years. Though practically useless in a direct skirmish, the overwhelming killing power of the ship's single extreme-range Nuclear Rifle has proven consistently devastating in properly applied scenarios. For better or worse, skilled Typhon gunner-pilots have earned significant renown across the Inner and Outer Colonies, to the point where several have outstanding kill bounties listed against them.
Exceptionally old design (circa '15). Reformatted for full buildability (existing parts only, complete structure). Commissioned action.
I don't usually have time for commission work - but in this case, the sponsoring individual was both very insistent and rather generous. So... yeah. Here you go.
Instructions up on Rebrickable.
I'd like to eventually take a crack at offering instructions for one of my more signature complex designs, but finding time is almost impossible and I have other projects I need to power down first. Long journey.
I'm offline for a week, see you when I get back from the Eastern Sierra.
These are drops on a CD, or what to do when it's very, very hot outside....reflections of my window and the trees outside are in the drops.
This is one of my favourite deep sky targets and for once conditions were excellent for imaging the detail in this tiny planetary nebula.
Image naturally captured with an unfiltered colour camera with an inbuilt IR cut window.

Kohoutek 1-17
A planetary nebula discovered by the Czech astronomer Dr. Luboš Kohoutek in 1963. It was discvoered by visual examination of National Geographic Society-Palomar Observatory Sky Survey prints.
It is registered on the HASH database as having a size of 56 arc seconds but this deep image reveals outer extensions giving it a true size of 2 arc minutes.
This was a collaboration with my great friend Sven Eklund.
Data capture by myself and Sven Eklund from our remote observatories in Spain.

Located around 5000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan), Abell 78 is an unusual type of planetary nebula.
After exhausting the nuclear fuel in their cores, stars with a mass of around 0.8 to 8 times the mass of our Sun collapse to form dense and hot white dwarf stars. As this process occurs, the dying star will throw off its outer layers of material, forming an elaborate cloud of gas and dust known as a planetary nebula. This phenomenon is not uncommon, and planetary nebulae are a popular focus for astrophotographers because of their often beautiful and complex shapes. However, a few like Abell 78 are the result of a so-called “born again” star.
Although the core of the star has stopped burning hydrogen and helium, a thermonuclear runaway at its surface ejects material at high speeds. This ejecta shocks and sweeps up the material of the old nebula, producing the filaments and irregular shell around the central star seen in this Picture of the Week, which features data from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and PANSTARSS.

I thought it would be a fun challenge to use sand red as a primary color for something. A small planetary rover seemed the ideal choice to me.
After seeing Cole Blaq's latest vehicular delight, I was forced to finish this.
I also find that the new canopies are much more suited to ground vehicles than space ship in my opinion.
I also incorporated a fun steering function not unlike the one used in the new Clone Turbo Tank.
NGC 2438 is a planetary nebula found inside the open cluster M46 in the constellation Puppis. I remember the first time I imaged M46 and spotted this fuzzy planetary nebula, I thought I discovered something new! My star atlas, at the time, did not show this NGC object. This planetary nebula is actually not part of the open cluster, it just appears in the same line of sight. It’s estimated distance is 3,000 light years away and has a magnitude of 10.8.
Tech Specs: This image is composed of 40 x 15 second images at ISO 5,000 with 5 x 15 second darks and 5 x 1/4000 second bias frames using a Meade LX90 12” telescope and Canon 6D camera mounted on a Celestron CGEM-DX mount. Imaging was done on February 18, 2017 from Weatherly, Pennsylvania.

This dramatic image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the planetary nebula NGC 3918, a brilliant cloud of colorful gas in the constellation of Centaurus, around 4,900 light-years from Earth.
In the center of the cloud of gas, and completely dwarfed by the nebula, are the dying remnants of a red giant. During the final convulsive phase in the evolution of these stars, huge clouds of gas are ejected from the surface of the star before it emerges from its cocoon as a white dwarf. The intense ultraviolet radiation from the tiny remnant star then causes the surrounding gas to glow like a fluorescent sign. These extraordinary and colorful planetary nebulas are among the most dramatic sights in the night sky, and often have strange and irregular shapes, which are not yet fully explained.
NGC 3918’s distinctive eye-like shape, with a bright inner shell of gas and a more diffuse outer shell that extends far from the nebula, looks as if it could be the result of two separate ejections of gas. But this is in fact not the case: studies of the object suggest that they were formed at the same time, but are being blown from the star at different speeds. The powerful jets of gas emerging from the ends of the large structure are estimated to be shooting away from the star at speeds of up to 217,500 miles (350,000 kilometers) per hour.

HFG1 (Heckathorn-Fesen-Gull 1, lower-left corner) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It was produced by a binary star system (V664 Cas) that is moving rapidly through our Galaxy. The star is moving towards the lower-right of the image. As HFG1 plows through the interstellar medium, a bluish bowshock is produced; and a red trail of gas is left behind in its wake. The picture shows another planetary nebula: Abell 6 (upper-right corner). Abell 6 appears to be circular with a diameter of almost 3 arc minutes. The central star is very faint and can barely be seen. I needed a very long integration time to get these very weak nebulae separated from the background. This is a collection of data from 2017 onwards. This rendition is a bicolor mapping (Ha, O3 and synthetic green) + RGB for the stars.

Toward the end of January we pointed a few of our systems at Abell 33, a small planetary nebula in the southern constellation Hydra, approximately 2,500 light years from Earth. A planetary nebula is created when a star blows off its outer layers after running out of fuel.
Abell 33 is off axis to the Milky Way so its expansion remained mostly unhindered by interstellar materials, resulting in its spherical shape. The bright rim is a result of our seeing more gases along the 3-dimensional edge of the bubble. Abell 33 is approximately 4.5 arcminutes in diameter, about 1/7 the diameter of the moon as seen from Earth. The nebula is by chance aligned with a 7th magnitude foreground star along its edge (HD 83535) giving a diamond ring appearance. The nebula's progenitor star, on its way to becoming a white dwarf, is the white spot just off-center inside the bubble.
38-1/2 hours of narrowband data was shot using Oxygen 3 and Hydrogen Alpha filters, with the Ha mapped to the red channel and O3 mapped to the green and blue channels of this RGB image. Shot with our RiLA 600mm, RiFAST 400mm and four RH 300mm telescopes.
