I re-created a multiple image composite showing the trail of NASA's satellite launch earlier this week, deleting the extra images of the background stars and foreground, so everything is more crisp and the result isn't so busy with star trails.
Each of the individual exposures in this sequence was 30 seconds, so the 8 shown in the flight path in this sequence represent 4 minutes of flight. The 3 solid fuel rocket boosters you can just see in this image, dropping near the end of the first and brightest segment to the right, were dropped at 1:30 into the flight, so this sequence of 30 second images shows roughly 1:00 to 5:00 in the overall launch sequence.
This pandemic certainly has changed things. Whilst the whole situation has been one of suffering and overwhelming sadness it has given time to evaluate and reflect on what we do have and sometimes how that is taken for granted.
Our family have moved closer together and like others we now have a lovely fur-ball to look after, This will mean when things slowly return to normal the jet setting will slow down for us and I will definitely be working locally. Be grateful of the things you have right?
So less exotic and more local forests, landscapes and home comforts will be the order of the day for my 2021 photography (and beyond). Hope my long time Flickr friends are all happy and healthy,
By the way this is Rocket in case you hadn't figured it out....
I really like this gun. It captures that Star Wars theme, and exhibits it nicely.
The detail is amazing, and the asymmetry really adds to the realism of the gun. This color may be difficult to use in Star Wars themed vignettes and minifigs, but
I'm not complaining.
A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft is seen as it is transported to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad-0A, Saturday, September 26, 2020, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 14th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver about 8,000 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The CRS-14 Cygnus spacecraft is named after the first female astronaut of Indian descent, Kalpana Chawla, and is scheduled to launch at 9:38 p.m., Thursday, October 1, 2020 EDT.

Immerse yourself in a creative project if you're feeling troubled they say. Building this sure allowed me to concentrate on something besides the news for a few hours.
Based on a 1973 Cadillac image from Pearsonville junkyard, September 2010. 2 minutes of full moon with red and white LED . . . a 2025 mixdown . . . and a lot of pushing and shoving in Photoshop.
A very nice addition, the Lewis gun looks great in bronze. This was my first Lewis gun, and I must say that the amount of detail is amazing! A very nice gun which fits the theme perfectly. Now for the Bayonet. I like it, I don't love it. While this may be a welcome addition for pirate and military fans, I will have to work hard to find uses for it, as I am more of a sci-fi fan. I also think the bayonet would work better with the gun if it were a different color. The solid bronze doesn't make the gun feel as interesting and
unique as it could be.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
The minifigure is top notch. The torso choice is excellent, and one of the reasons
I purchased him. The dial is a nice touch, adding to the steampunk feel. My only complaint is that the two neck pieces to hold the dial and jetpack make his head too tall to be proportionate, but this is too easily fixed for it to matter much. I'm glad the helmet is
reddish brown, as the old brown wouldn't fit the rest of the figure.
I thought these astronauts were simply fabulous!

Black Lodge Customs: Rocket Commando via BrickArms.
I made a slight modification to the Winged Rocket Pack to accommodate the BrickArms Lewis Gun with bayonet.
Not too sure if anyone else had done it, but I thought it was worth sharing.

I was in Chinatown on Chicago's North Side celebrating Chinese New Year earlier today so I didn't get a chance to post my Caturday photo until now. This is Rocket, the tabby cat of my friend and neighbor (He is the brother of Ollie). Rocket sometimes thinks he is a dragon but really wants it to be Year of the CAT forever!!!

Spent an amazing night under crystal clear skies near Mahia New Zealand last night, and caught Rocket Lab's Electron rocket launch on its #RunningOutofToes mission.
Unfortunately this mission was not a success, with Electron suffering a malfunction shortly after the second stage start up burn. Gutted for the team at Rocket Lab, and a shame that this photo will now serve to bring back bad memories!
Our stroll over at the river did provide a few squirrel images!!!! Rocket gets very disobedient when it comes to leaving the squirrel alone and go on walking!!!! 😄

rock•et \’rä-kət\ noun.
1a: a firework consisting of a case partly filled with a combustible composition fastened to a guiding stick and propelled through the air by the rearward discharge of the gases liberated by combustion b: a similar device used as an incendiary weapon or as a propelling unit (as for a lifesaving line) 2: a jet engine that operates on the same principle as the firework rocket, consists essentially of a combustion chamber and an exhaust nozzle, carries either liquid or solid propellants which provide the fuel and oxygen needed for combustion and thus make the engine independent of the oxygen of the air, and is used especially for the propulsion of a missile (as a bomb or shell) or a vehicle (as an airplane) 3: a rocket-propelled bomb, missile, projectile, or vehicle
I admit it, I cheated. Both shots were taken on March 19, both were taken within a short distance of each other, just not the same place at the same time. I was all set up to take this shot with a real moon in it when security ran me off from the parking lot. I'm glad I went ahead and took a couple of reference shots first. I knew the angle would be very close to this by using the Photographers' Ephemeris. The scale is bit off, but as long as I was cheating I decided to enhance it a bit.

The Rockets - Knoebels Grove at Night. This photograph is a 15 second exposure and I started it with the ride stopped for about the first five seconds. By doing so you can actually see the two cars of the ride along with the trails of lights. Knoebels is a wonderfully old, family run, amusement park located in Elysburg, PA. It was our first stop on our two week journey. You can see more at RandyRobertsPhotography.com
Algebra
"There is no collective thought. On the other hand our science is
collective like our techniques. Specialization. We inherit not only results but methods which we do not understand. For the matter of that the two are inseparable, for the results of algebra provide methods for other sciences."

Macro Mondays: Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The hubcap logo from a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. This was my first car and is long gone, but I've held onto these nice stainless steel hubcaps for many years.
The remains of Stephenson’s Rocket recently arrived at Locomotion, Shildon, 10th March 2023.
Locomotive History
Rocket was built by Robert Stephenson in 1829 for the Rainhill Trials organised by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the first steam locomotive to bring together several innovations to produce the most advanced locomotive of its day and easily won the trials. It is the most famous example of an evolving design of locomotives by Stephenson that became the template for most steam engines in the following 150 years. After service on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway it was used between 1836 and 1840 on Lord Carlisle's Railway mineral near Brampton, in Cumberland. During these ten years the engine was considerably modified. After lying out of use for over twenty years it was donated to the Science Museum in 1862 and would spend the next 150+ years on display at the museum. In 2018, it moved to the National Railway Museum at York and has now recently moved to Locomotion.
In 1979 a working replica of the 1829 version of Rocket was built by Locomotion Enterprises in the Springwell Workshops at the Bowes Railway for the 150th anniversary celebrations. This replica can also be found at Locomotion and is occasionally steamed (see first comment)
