The ST100 Maglev is the preferred way to get around the surface of Planet Frost. Powered by a Cyclonic Fusion core, the 5 car consist is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 700 mph. Boasting a smooth ride and luxurious accomodations, the ST100 is popular among locals and visitors alike.
The ST100 is powered with Power Functions. The model features 16 3mm LEDs. This is the first element of a large space display I'm (slowly) working on.

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
* Retractable landing gear
* Fire the rail guns with the aft mounted trigger
Here is a video of the play features: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vI56lsmdjI
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.

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus & Neptune in shot. Super fisheye lens gets everything into one shot.
Saturn and Mercury had set with the sun and so it was never going to be possible to see all 7 planets.

A rarely-imaged faint Planetary Nebula (PNe) hiding within Lynds Bright Nebula 381 (LBN 381) in Cygnus, first noted by Ronald Weinberger in 1977. This PNe was brought to my attention by Barry Wilson in his recent excellent image of LBN 381.
A planetary nebula forms when a star can no longer support itself by fusion reactions in its centre. The gravity from the material in the outer part of the star takes its inevitable toll on the structure of the star, and forces the inner parts to condense and heat up. The high temperature central regions drive the outer half of the star away in a brisk stellar wind, lasting a few thousand years. This ejection has resulted in this bubble-like structure. When the process is complete, the remaining core remnant is uncovered and heats the now distant gases and causes them to glow.
This is a highly evolved and thus extremely faint PNe with very low surface brightness of between 22.1 and 25.8 mag/sq-arcsec. Over time this will become so faint that it will completely disappear. This image shows the existence of an outer OIII shell that according to Ronald Weinberger hasn't been seen before.
Image captured jointly by myself and Alistair Macpherson at sites in Shropshire, England and Alcalali, Spain. Because of the faintness of this target we chose to go deep, capturing a total of 46 hours 30 minutes of data, with 34 hours at bin 2x2.

Visitors to the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma), can pay their respects at small shrines called "planetary posts" dedicated to the day of their birth.
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.

This is the field in Vulpecula the Fox that contains the famous planetary nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula aka Messier 27, at left, but also the faint emission nebulas NGC 6820 at right and Sharpless 2-88 above it. The small star cluster below centre is NGC 6830. A small star cluster, NGC 6823, lies embedded in NGC 6820. The field is yellowed by the interstellar dust reddening distant objects.
This is a blend of filtered and unfiltered stacks: 18 x 6-minutes at ISO 2500 through the IDAS NB1 dual narrowband filter, and 16 x 3-minutes at ISO 1000 with no filter, all through the SharpStar 61 EDPHII apo refractor at f/4.6 with its reducer/flattener, and with the red-sensitive Canon Ra, all on the Star Adventurer GTi mount/tracker, autoguided with the Lacerta MGENIII autoguider, taken as part of testing the mount. No darks or LENR applied here, but the autoguider applied some dithering offset between each frame, to cancel out thermal noise hot pixels when the sub-frames were aligned and stacked. Taken Sept. 24/25, 2022 from home in Alberta on a very clear cool night.
Shooting and then blending filtered with unfiltered shots provides the best of both worlds: the reddish nebulosity set in a sky preserving natural coloured stars and background tints. Nebulosity was brought out with DM1 and DM2 luminosity masks created with the Lumenzia plug-in panel for Photoshop. Finishing touches with a Paint Contrast layer added with TK Actions panel, and a mild application of the Nebula Filter from the PhotoKemi action set both boosted the nebulosity a bit more.
All stacking, aligning and blending done in Adobe Photoshop.
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's homosphere, which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. Nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. There are two methods of naming clouds in their respective layers of the homosphere, Latin and common. Genus types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adoption of Luke Howard's nomenclature that was formally proposed in 1802. It became the basis of a modern international system that divides clouds into five physical forms which can be further divided or classified into altitude levels to derive ten basic genera. The main representative cloud types for each of these forms are stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. Low-level clouds do not have any altitude-related prefixes. However mid-level stratiform and stratocumuliform types are given the prefix alto- while high-level variants of these same two forms carry the prefix cirro-. Genus types with sufficient vertical extent to occupy more than one level do not carry any altitude related prefixes. They are classified formally as low- or mid-level depending on the altitude at which each initially forms, and are also more informally characterized as multi-level or vertical. Most of the ten genera derived by this method of classification can be subdivided into species and further subdivided into varieties. Very low stratiform clouds that extend down to the Earth's surface are given the common names fog and mist, but have no Latin names. 64921
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.
I support Damian Peach on Patreon where he posts planetary and cometary astrophotography tutorials including some data posts.

This is data from one of Damian's Barbados sessions on a Celestron C14 + ADC using a ZWO ASI224MC camera.
The data was 13 x OSC TIF files which I have sharpened in RegiStax6, then centred each frame in PIPP. After that, I stacked all 13 frames in AutoStakkert!3 before finally using Photoshop for toning, vibrance, texture and unsharp mask.

Slightly less atmospheric turbulence last night so was able to pick up a little more detail.
Still fine tuning the Celestron electronic focuser which is tricky given the turbulence.

Venus, Mars and Jupiter glow brightly in the early morning sky, while the moon plays hide and seek with the clouds just to the right of the Mittens, Monument Valley.
Hope your week goes well. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- they mean a lot to me.

I think this looks like a planet with its moons.
Thank you for your comments and faves – they are greatly appreciated!

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.
