eheh, Figured I'd share with you my new Marquee for my cab. If I'm going to be redoing my FE setup, may as well improve the outside of the cab too.

It's a bit busy, forced by its size (4" X 20") due to the fact my cab used to be some kind of a video poker machine.

Anyway, a friend is good at photoshop and offered to help put to paper what I was imagining. Some clarification:

- I'm a gamer, but astronomy is my ultimate passion
- I wanted my cab to reflect in some way that passion
- I dabble with astro-photography
- Thus you will note outside of the background large planet and it's two moons, every other piece of astro-art is courtesy of my scope/astrocam
- That includes the moon that likes to pretend it's a "O"
- No there is no spelling error :).
- I didn't want to have my cab's name finish with "...ade".
- I never realized anything but the above would be so hard... :burnout:

The image has obviously been resized, it's quite huge and clear. Some small touch-ups are needed, but I'm considering it 99% completed. Comments of course are always welcomed.

Nice , both are really great marquees, good work. Someday when I build a second cab it will use that style marquee.
