Post your random pics!

So I shot the hunter
Camera A7, Lens Nikon 50mm 1.8 at F2.8
ISO 1000 36 seconds
iOptron skytacker used to get long exposure without trailing
Single exposure


I took many such exposures, and then stacked them in DSS. Here is a cropped view of the M42 and Horsehead nebula


I am still learning, so my polar alignment is not perfect. Hopefully, will do better next time!

Ive had the same desktop background for as long as I can remember. That image has changed a long standing tradition. Congrats.

this is not exactly a picture but it well describes new laser owners

(is it working?)

Today near Deadhorse, Alaska



70°12′20″N 148°30′42″W

I see why they call it "Deadhorse" Poor thing froze to Death!

Made this today. It took more time to erase stuff in paint getting rid of unwanted items that were in the picture.

Maybe project it onto a screen next time?

I don't have a screen. Who needs one when you have a wall?

Thailand over new years;





The beach from that movie The Beach... over run with tourists



The two sides of the infamous full moon party beach, Haad Rin, December 30th, 2014...

Wow, what a contrast between #803 and
#808! It looks like they had a sunrise for
the past couple days. Don't worry. Summer
is coming!

Thailand is far more inviting than this scene, photo I took a couple of days ago while at 70 degrees latitude near the native village of Nuiqsut, Alaska: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuiqsut,_Alaska.

This road is icy because it is made from nothing but ice from water poured on to frozen ground. This keeps damage from occurring to the tundra underneath. The temperature was 30 below zero F., 35 degrees below C. Not bad when the wind isn't blowing, the day before we had a -50 below zero F. wind chill factor.

These roads are built every year to be able to haul materials between oilfield drilling or production operations during the winter. Most of the seasonal oil field work halts during the warmer months when these roads cannot be built. Contrary to many of the anti-oil industry commercials or adds showing these oil producing areas as pristine mountainous nature, to me, except for a few hearty individuals living in the village, this place is a desolate frozen hell in the winter months, there are no mountains to be seen anywhere near this area, this is flatland for as far as you can see in any direction.

Some of you might recognize this.

Nice!!!!
Ahhh the ole M203 M16-A2. That rifle just felt sooo good. Each squad leader carried this awesome weapon.

Just a few examples of what I've been up to while outside (the forum) in recent months.

F**KING EXCELLENT, especially the second one!
