VL motion System has been designed helical gear units, which are for tough application as mining so it has to be highly operational reliability. Helical gears are used in almost all industrial applications.
Quite a bit of PP to get to where this image is now. I'm not quite done with it, a lot of touching up to do, but I'm happy with how it has come along

I have tried to process this one before without much success.
This my latest attempt after more imaging and is a combination of NB and RGB
filters
I always liked Neptune's yin yang eyebrows - single white eyebrow whisker over the right eye, and the black one over the left.
Like the Blue Snowball, this planetary nebula has mysterious knots, known as FLIERS, within its outer halo. Here, they can be seen as brighter 'handles' on opposing sides of the central star, in the 2 and 8 o'clock positions. Found within the Cygnus constellation.
Okay, okay ... these are not images from February 28. These are planetary images I have taken in the past year. I created this composite/simulation for friends and family who asked about last week's highly publicized planetary alignment. Mercury is on my to-do (i.e., to image) list and is not included in this composite.
Cassini took a series of images on Sept. 9, 2006 as it watched the bright
red giant star Aldebaran slip behind Saturn's rings. This type of
observation is known as a stellar occultation and uses a star whose
brightness is well known. As Cassini watches the rings pass in front, the
star's light fluctuates, providing information about the concentrations of
ring particles within the various radial features in the rings.
Here, Cassini watches the star through the part of the rings masked by
Saturn's shadow. The view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from
about 20 degrees below the ringplane. Bright Aldebaran is over exposed,
creating thin vertical lines on its image.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Sept. 9, 2006 at a distance of approximately
351,000 kilometers (218,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale on the sky at
the distance of Saturn is 2 kilometers (1 mile) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

This is a very poor picture, but I was proud to manage it with my little Olympus camera - Aldebaran, red star at top left, then brighter Venus, the waxing crescent Moon and Jupiter below

Narrowband Image. Nothing was visible of NGC 6026 in the SII bandwidth. So I mapped SII to
green for a change and hence the red/blue colouring from Ha as red and OIII
as blue.
A morning view of taken at 05h50 on 21 May 2011 in the Southern Hemisphere of 3 rising planets. Jupiter and Uranus was also in the sky but not in the photo.
Seen here: Mars, Venus & Mercury.
Camera: D50
Lens: Nikkor 70-300mm
Last night, while I drove home from Shop-Rite, I saw the moon, Jupiter and Venus in the night sky. It was beautiful! I got home, dragged the groceries in, grabbed my camera and tripod and got set up just in time to take pictures of clouds!! Jupiter and Venus were already covered by clouds, and the moon disappeared a minute or so after I took this shot! Darn!

You feel a gravitational tug drawing you in – Planetary Playground has trapped you in its orbit! Swirling in closer, you glide past the starry gateway. With stars fading behind you, a massive representation of the Jovian (Jupiter) system looms above. Coming in for landing! You find yourself seated on one of many free-floating glowing moons, bouncing your way around the gas giant and its four satellites.
During your exploration, illuminated signage conveys the fascinating story of the worlds that surround you. But Planetary Playground is not merely a metaphor – with scheduled telescope viewings, a pinpoint of light overhead is revealed to be the actual Jupiter and moons system!
