This cool! No, Traveller, this is obviously the crystal drive of a Jupiter class intergalactic flagship. You can tell by the four candles ;-)

Thank you, Konstantin, Traveller, Sharon and Daniel. I added some technical information for you. There are some obvious glitches in the panorama, I did not use a tripod. As always I was too lazy to carry one around. -Gerald

Wonderful, very special image, Gerald! (Whatever you call it--polar, fisheye, panorama etc.--, I'd like to know how you did it.) -- db.

I don't think this is a polar image but a "panorama" going over the top! It is outstanding! How many shots did it take to produce this, Gerald? ~Sharon

Yes, these kind of polar images are difficult to pull off well...but this works for sure...it is a polar and not a fish eye? In any case, I thought it was the inside of an atomic collider...lol Traveller
