OOC:

Well, this was a travel week for work and I’m soooooo tired. Didn’t get much done at all with exploration in Eve this last week, but the job pays the bills so I can play Eve. It’s a catch-22, but that’s life. So, I thought for this week I would repost my image that was selected for the latest EON magazine. You can get the latest issue here. Enjoy the image. It’s a plasma planet which are rare to find and my favorite of the new planet types. I dig blue, what can I say.

Another major milestone crossed – 100 systems explored so far – In the words of a famous fictional character … Whoa.

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone so far who has wished me well, encouraged me, posted replies, offered tips and suggestions, EON Magazine, CCP and even the ones who think I’m crazy. I’m an Astrophotographer – it’s what I do. It’s nice to know there are those of you out there actually keeping track of my journey so far and I hope you are enjoying the images as I go. Please be sure to check out the Astrophotography link on the right which now exceeds 1,000 images so far! .. Whoa.

Cheers and here’s to the next 100 systems.

“So I’ve started out for God knows where. I guess I’ll know when I get there.” – Tom Petty, Learning To Fly

After a month and a half of flying, I’ve finished my first region. The Forge has been fully explored now with over 900 planetary images captured so far. To think that only accounts for a little over 3% explored . . .

Here’s some images from this last week.

“The moon … beautiful. The sun … even more beautiful. Oh yeah.” – Yello, Oh Yeah

8.1.112yc The Forge, Ruomo Constellation, Vaankalen

Received some good news this week. It seems that myself and several other capsuleer’s will have an astrophotography picture featured in the new EON magazine issue. I’m not sure which one was chosen, as I had submitted several for them to pick from, but I’m looking forward to finding out. If you’re a subscriber, be sure to check it out. Oh yeah.

This last week I’ve have added another 11 systems explored to my journey. There’s now well over 800+ pictures in the astrophotography photo album. If you’ve not checked that out, see the links section on the right. Skill training continues with my base learning skills. Currently training Clarity V. Then all I’ll have left is Focus V and Presence V. Almost there, then I’ll be able to start training up basic ship skills and then who knows what.

Also of note this last week, I passed through Jita, the well known market hub of Eve and also New Caldari, the home system of Caldari. As usual, I’ve attached some of my favorite images of the week.
