Should we submit our entries according to a fixed resolution to save you from the pain of cropping the screenshots to fit the picture slots in the book?
 
I will keep even more lookout for nice views, as well as star and planetary names fitting with that of Commander Rukmerot.

Will cockpit frames or other difficult-to-avoid clutter in some ships disqualify an image?

no all pictures are eligible.
