I wanted to do something a little special/different for my 600th post.
Sooo ... I found another Star System for Orbiter made by a gentleman who goes by Mohd, I believe.
The Star System name is Abu, and I'm taking off into orbit around the planet Trong from Trong Base 2.

Enjoy the shots ....

Ready for takeoff

A few more to follow ....

Thanks for looking and take care,
