It's FebRovery again, my favourite themed building month.
So let's begin with a modification of set 10497 (or as I like to call it, the "UCS Galaxy Explorer") into a rover.
As far as names go, "Planetary Explorer" was the obvious and only choice. The rear cargo compartment contains a small skimmer-type vehicle to mirror the rover carried by the original
what is it ? it is the top part of very small glass jam jar, filled with oil, water and red wine (mixed and left to settle) Looks a bit like a gas giant planet.
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

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.

The pairing of Jupiter and Saturn is seen reflecting in a tide pool in Pine Island, North Carolina. The image was taken with a Ha converted Canon 70D and A Rokinon 12 mm lens.
we explored the new Business Costco today ...
it was very interesting, we liked this mixer !
but will we be able to fit it into our kitchen ...

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.
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 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.

Enjoy! ❤
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.

From Wikipedia: NGC 40 (also known as the Bow-Tie Nebula and Caldwell 2) is a planetary nebula discovered by William Herschel on November 25, 1788, and is composed of hot gas around a dying star. The star has ejected its outer layer which has left behind a smaller, hot star with a temperature on the surface of about 50,000 degrees Celsius. Radiation from the star causes the shed outer layer to heat to about 10,000 degrees Celsius, and is about one light-year across. About 30,000 years from now, scientists theorize that NGC 40 will fade away, leaving only a white dwarf star approximately the size of Earth.

Captured using Sequence Generator Pro and processed using PixInsight. Image date: August 16, 2020. Location: The Dark Side Observatory, Weatherly, PA, USA.
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.

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.
