Orbiter 2013 Calendar

[SolarLiner]

Hi orbinauts !
I know we're only in October, but I've got an idea. What about an Orbiter-screenshots based month calendar for 2013 ? Until 1st of December, you can post your (own) Orbiter screenshots, and from the 1 to the 15, selection will be made by you, and the 12 first pics selected will be on this month calendar. My "rules" will be:
- Only one picture per user.
- No restrictions on add-ons used.
- No restrictions on planets used.
- You may use D3D9/D3D11 to improve performance.
- Try to keep the picture without the blackness of space.
- Keep a good resolution to your pic.
- Please don't do too much post-production (such as color-correction) and keep the pic clear of text. If you want to add one, write it over your picture.

If you have a "month calendar template" and you think it goes well with the theme, PM me it.

Also I have something to ask: Will the calendar starts with Sunday or with Monday ?

This strongly depends on your locale / culture
See http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/supplemental/territory_language_information.html

For Germany and France it's usually Monday, US-People might disagree. There it's Sunday.

What about both?

What about both?

I thought The Tuesday is the most holy day in the Orbiter world, so it must go first in a week!

(also Tuesday is "Mars day" after all...)

I'd say most of Europe, if not all, and even more.

Agreed!

Tuesday is humorous. But as RisingFury said, why not both? This is digital, you didn't mention getting this physically made (and even then), nothing is stopping you from using two different calendar layouts, and plopping the screenshots into both.

I think to post the calendar in PDF format, so the "two versions" solution is great.

Okay, so I officially open the "screenshot posts" part ! Example of what is good:

Dan's addons are awesome:

Oh, and a new tip: Try to keep good resolutions (like 720p, but 1080p and higher is truly better)

Some of my best. Take your pick if you would like to use any.

Izack, you can only post one photo to submit.

So I've chosen the Neptune Encounter one.

What is it with me and missing the one rule that'll make me look like an idiot. Very sorry about that. :facepalm:

Don't worry

This picture was made some days ago. It is a Chapman probe (the Inner 1) by "Piper" after TVI over Australia, using Seth Eden's level 10 Earth tiles and Felix24's high-res clouds.
No photo manipulation, except of editing away the Fregat booster which was a little smudge on the right side of the picture.
