FUTURON - POLARIS EXPRESS
"Polaris", in reference to the mythical Set 6972 Polaris-I Space Lab, and "Express", in reference to the Orient Express of Siberia, in relation to a tracked vehicle of the tundra
The inspiration comes mainly from the Russian vehicle Vityaz DT-30 tracked, and its little brother the Vityaz DT-10PM, particularly adapted to the tundra and the cold.
Multi-function vehicle. It can be converted into a Cargo, Passenger, Small Vehicles, Oxygen, etc.
There are 6 modular blocks of 5x7 studs, which can be unclipped, can be put in the hold, and can be put in the order you want. Include a mix. The roof can be unclipped.
The 2 types of Vityaz DT have lots of military or civilian variations. Surely one of the vehicles with the most variation in the world, as crazy as that is. Excavator version, passenger / troop transport version, ballistic missile version, freight transport version, radar station version in arctic base, amphibious version, crossing bridge version, logging transport version, tank version (yes yes, with 2 turrets !), snow plow version, mobile laboratory version, gas / mining version (currently used by Gazprom), etc ... We are on a monster which is not far from making 3 to 4 large cars wide depending on the version. I wanted to stay a little in this “multifunction” spirit for the MOC.

FUTURON - POLARIS EXPRESS
"Polaris", en référence au mythique Set 6972 Polaris-I Space Lab, et "Express", en référence à l'Orient Express de Sibérie, par rapport à un véhicule chenillé de la toundra
L'inspiration vient principalement du Véhicule Russe Vityaz DT-30 chenillé, et son petit frère le Vityaz DT-10PM, particulièrement adaptés à la toundra et au froid.
Vehicule Multi-fonction. Il peut se convertir en véhicule de Fret, de passagers, de petits véhicules, etc.
Il y a de 6 blocs modulaires de 5x7 tenons, déclipsable, pouvant être mis en soute, et pouvant être mis dans l'ordre que l'on souhaite. Inclus un mix. Le toit est déclipsable. J'ai soigné les traces de chenilles et le radar.
Les 2 types de Vityaz DT ont des tas de déclinaison militaire ou civile. Surement l'un des véhicules qui a le plus de déclinaison au monde, aussi fou que cela soit. Version pelleteuse, version voyageurs/transport de troupes, version missiles balistiques, version transport de fret, version station radar en base arctique, version amphibie, version pont de franchissement, version transport de coupe de bois, version char (si si, avec 2 tourelles !), version déneigeuse, version laboratoire mobile, version gazière/minière (actuellement utilisé par Gazprom), etc... On est sur un monstre qui n’est pas loin de faire 3 à 4 grosses voitures de large suivant les versions. Je voulais rester un peu dans cet esprit « multifonction » pour le MOC.

Composite of six, 10-minute exposures.
I went out to Asilomar after I got off work at midnight. This was the same location where I took my first photograph of the Milky Way (although this image was taken further down the trail, and looking a different direction).
It took me a little while to get set up, finding the composition I wanted, and then I was there for an hour to get this shot. By the time I was walking back to my car, I was frozen despite my multiple layers.
I have a few alternate versions which I will upload later.

I took this picture in the middle of Puszcza Notecka in Poland, the closest proper dark sky area near my home. The dark-brownish could to the right is nothing else but the end of the Milky Way's arm that was cought in the frame. I really like this smeared effect it made. Whole exposure lasted for 15 minutes.
Picture taken with Samyang 12mm F2.2. I am pretty satisfied with the results I got from this unexpensive piece of gear.
In this wide field photograph, we can see the bright blue shining star that is Polaris, often called the North Star.
This is a very familiar star to astrophotographers as every equatorial telescope mount in the northern hemisphere points towards this star. All the stars in the sky appear to rotate around Polaris, but in actual fact the rotation is very slightly to the side. That's where the North Celestial Point (NCP) currently is.
Surrounding Polaris is an abundance of Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN). This IFN is faint dust lit up by the light coming off our own Milky Way galaxy, the integrated flux of all the stars combined.
Dark skies and long exposure times are required to reveal this dust. I used a Canon 100mm 2.8 IS L macro lens to capture this photo. Its fast F2.8 focal ratio aids in capturing this faint region. I also used a high sensitivity IMX533 colour camera. A simple star tracker from Skywatcher was used which made this setup nice and portable and fun to use.
Over the course of 3 nights (4th - 6th February 2025) I captured 172 exposures of 180s long. This was stacked to produce a low noise image to help reveal the IFN.

Polaris and Nygma made their way across the highway to Fawcett City. It took a while, about 10 hours, and Nygma was slowly wearing Polaris down with trivia questions he had no answer for. After a while, the two sat in silence before finally arriving in the city. They took back alley ways and began to make their way to Woolfolk Prison, still, in silence.
Nygma then broke the silence with the beginning of a story of when he held trivia night at a bar in Gotham, but Polaris cut him short by forcing the car to stop suddenly.
(45 Minutes Later...)
“Alright, Polaris...this is Woolfolk Prison. It’s a pretty high security one at that, especially for a backwoods place like Fawcett.” Nygma and Polaris were crouched behind tall grass and bushes just on the edge of the prison’s campus.
“Yes, I see. So, how do you suggest we get in?”
“Simple. We cause a distraction!”
“Wouldn’t said distraction possibly summon Captain Marvel?”
Nygma thought about that for a moment. He looked up at the sky. It was sunset. From what he had learned, Captain Marvel was only active during the day. He shook his head at Polaris and grinned, “No, we should be fine!”
Polaris paused for a moment before nodding, holding his hand out and simply clenching his fist.
From across the prison yard, a watchtower crumpled up like a paper ball, the metal supports destroying the stone throughout as guards went tumbling down towards the ground. Immediately, the siren began blaring. Polaris and Nygma move quickly, heading to the back of the prison and waiting for the guards to pass before the Doctor used his abilities to tear a door from the hinges.
Woolfolk Prison was expansive and eerily quiet, even with the siren echoing throughout the hallways. The guards seemed preoccupied. Polaris and Nygma made their way up levels of the prison to the 3rd level; Meta-Security. There, they’d find Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
After examining multiple cells and seeing forgettable Captain Marvel villains, they finally found Sivana, who was currently standing in front of the cell door.
“I heard the commotion. Seems like I made the correct assumption.” Sivana leaned against the bars and gazed with his single eye towards Polaris and Nygma.
Nygma smiles, “Hello, Thad, old sport. Good to see you again! What happened to the uh...”
“The eye? I lost it to that...welp of a superhero.”
Polaris began to tear the bars of the door apart as Nygma grasped his cane with both hands, resting it on his shoulders.
“Hmm...well, lucky for you, Thad, I think I have just the thing! We just have to make a quick trip to Gotham...”

Polaris isn't actually a single star, but 3 stars all orbiting each other. It's surrounded by this magnificent nebulosity which can be seen all throughout the constellation of Ursa Minor. The Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) are tiny dust particles illuminated by the surrounding stars.

You say that love goes anywhere In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there When you go, I'll let you be But you're killing everything in me...
I traveled up to Trillium Lake, inside Mt Hood National Forest, in an attempt to catch some meteors in action. Its not too far away and I hoped dark enough. Turned out a lot of people had the same idea I did.
I saw quite a few meteors and and caught a couple on camera. In this frame I even caught a couple of planes.
I tried as much as I could to center the North Star in this picture.
This mountain is called the "Mont Aiguille". In the medieval period, Mont
Aiguille was traditionally called "Mount Inaccessible".
The mountain is most noted for its first ascent in 1492. Charles VIII
ordered that the peak be climbed, so one of his servants, Antoine de Ville,
made the ascent using a combination of ladders, ropes and other artificial
aids.
This was the first recorded climb of any technical difficulty, and has been
said to mark the beginning of mountaineering.[6] The mountain was not
climbed again until 1834, nearly 350 years later!!!!
I particularly like in this picture the superposition of the clouds moving
through all the stars circling around the North Star.
The Milky Way was visible so it was so dark that I couldn't even see
through my ViewFinder. Therefore I needed 752 sec of exposure in the middle
of nowhere by a harsh cold to achieve this single RAW, from which I got
this picture!
