As the otter was eating the small fish it just caught and the mother Mallard was escaping with her two ducklings (two previous posts), this eagle flew overhead and carefully scoped out the events transpiring below before continuing on it's way.
Looks like this big ram is scoping things out, but he was actually in the process of sitting down on top of this ledge right across from the confluence. And yep, it was quite cold, as you can tell from his breath.
Have a great Sunday, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!

Closer view of the working end of my scope setup so I can label everything (with notes) for those who are interested

The Xeno Hovercar Company, formed in the late 2030's as a conglomerate of several small hovercar startups was the first company to successfully sell hovercars in mass. Small, quiet turbines made them usable within cities, and their sleek design made them irresistible to consumers. They were sold for exorbitant prices, and very soon after release three words were commonly heard across dealerships- "Bill Me Later"
Everyone's favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett joins the Meisho Movie realization series in spectacular feudal Japan aesthetic.
Appropriately portrayed as a lord-less “Ronin” Samurai features an extensive array of accessories that includes a characteristic backpack missile, helmet mounted scope, ninja-style katanas, nunchucks and numerous ninja-style blade accessories.
"No decapitations!"
NGC 2070, also called the Tarantula Nebula, it's a huge nebula in another galaxy (Great Magellanic Cloud). About 10 hours with Planewave CDK14 scope-QHY268M camera, 18 min subexposures...I will post more versions with other colours palette soon...
Out scoping for Autumn shots, a few in mind now, just need the colours. Ill be back here for sure. :)
Vepr® Relics - MK55C "Lenkits" INR Bullpup Assault Railgun - Heavy and bulky rifles? Bazinga
VEPR INDUSTRIES IS HIRING. FM ME FOR DETAILS!
--------------------
Ammunition :
> Standard - 20CL Tungsten Projectiles
Magazine : 60 rnd
Range : Low-Medium
Rate of fire : 1100 RPM
Firing modes : Full Auto
Death is an art with Vepr Industries. Watch your enemy die amongst a crowd of dancing flame or watch them be fried in a swirl of electric bolts. Watch the fleshy body disintegrate harmoniously into fifty million equally sized blood red pieces and sweep right into the wind. That... is the beauty of Vepr.
The Lenkits - Heavy and bulky rifles?
A small and light bullpup railgun assault weapon. It has a rather short range but packs a heavy punch within the range. Recoil is controllable but quite hefty, even with all of the recoil suppressors. It fires compressed tungsten projectiles covered in a plasma that will erupt into flames upon exiting the railgun - setting fire to the target, if not killing it (which almost never happens, we can assure you.) If raw power and range is what you are looking for regardless of recoil, then this is what you are looking for. Note, always wear ear protection when using this gun, due to it's extreme loudness.
As a Vepr weapon, it shoots projectiles at a high velocity and on fire. Always. Guaranteed.
Power. Fire. Accuracy. Lenkits - Only from Vepr Relics.
--------------------
Creds and Deds:
-Beck - shaded rails
-Domo - Inspiration on foregrip
-Kormet - Inspiration on Thompson grip integration
-Also inspired by Casey's Vepr shotty.

Went to visit my future in-laws this past weekend and and took advantage of their dark skies and (fairly) new moon. Wanted to shoot other targets throughout the night but fog or clouds came in every night around midnight. I'd consider this image an improvement from the last time I shot M33 back in 2018.
This image was taken with a monochrome camera through filters for luminance (all visible light), red, green, blue, and Hydrogen-alpha (656nm), which were combined into a tue color image. The Hydrogen-alpha was combined with the RGB data (described below) to enhance the hydrogen nebulae in the galaxy (red splotches in the spiral arms). Captured on October 8-10 from a bortle 4 zone (Ha data from my bortle 6 driveway on the 12th).

* PixelMath to make Clean Ha. This effectively [isolates just the Ha regions](i.imgur.com/Aob3UEO.png) from the red continuum spectrum
> Ha-Q * (Red-med (Red))
> Q=0.08
* PixelMath to combine Clean Ha
* PixelMath to add Ha to RGB image ($T)

> G= $T
> B= $T+B\*0.2*(Ha_Clean - med(Ha_Clean))
> B=3

After a few more changes to the ACOG, I've now created instructions for it.
Rendering the image in POVRay took a massive 15 hours, making it by far the longest render I've done. The clear bricks to make up the lens were what slowed it down, taking up around ten hours of the whole render!
I was bored so i made this.the shading techniques are all Shockwave's(except for the shaded screw), I just made some custom scopes
Credit to Shockwave for the original scope
Finally I maneged to upload the code of the small scope pastebin.com/aX8Y9xV4
new toys!! the mathematics & lines from these totally remind me of 70's supergraphics.. and 80s macrame!!

The stud on left: He is what sparked this recent batch of figs - and was originally 3 figures. One was a try at modifying the Darth Vader helmet into a samurai mask (which also works perfectly of a Stalheim), a try at a Nazi officer, and a Trenchcoat design. These all quickly became one, and formed what is my absolute favorite fig I have ever made to date. He's awesome.
The dud on the right: He was kind of an afterthought. I made a Nazi Sombie (that was scrapped for an entry-in-progress for a contest over in the Sci-Fi group that I missed the deadline for due to school and work and life), and then I was making an Allies Robot Flame-Thrower dude (also scrapped) and it turned into this. I have been wanting to make a Gasmask for a long time now (rather aggravating process), and this finally gave me an attempt to do so. Once i got my Brickarms order, I scrapped the Flamethrower and gave him one of my awesome Freebie camo Sniper Rifles (which kinda looks like a WWII Rifle with a scope on it). I guess I kinda like him...
The Screw thingy is for the left side, you can remove it after one ungroup.
The left one<<<(the result of staying awake till 8 am and trying to get your shit done, move along) The right one is the recolorable one, after the same one ungroup to avoid coloring the Screw thing,
Credit to shock for some techniques regarding recolorablility, and the screw head, btw Shocky, do you mind if i use reverse engineering on your parts to learn more and get some ideas?
