The deep shadows of sunrise over the Montes Apenninus & Montes Caucasus. Shot early evening (28th June) from London.
Celestron Edge HD11 & ASI174MM camera with 685nm IR filter.
This is a lunar crater Clavius imaged in good seeing conditions on the 22nd April.
I used a 2x focal extender with my C11 to get this closer view of this iconic crater,
Clavius is one of the largest craters on the moon being some 225km in diameter but being somewhat foreshortened in appearance from our visual perspective.
Much detail is resolved within the image.
The moon was approaching 11 days old and just over 76% illuminated when this image was captured.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT fitted with a x2 Focal extender. A ZWO290MM camera with Baader long pass filter was used.
Thanks for looking!!
From the Montes Jura on the left to Plato crater and Vallis Alpes on the right. Imaged on the 23rd January 2021.
Two panel mosaic created using a Celestron Edge HD11 scope, Televue 2.5x Powermate & ASI174MM camera.
Equipped to the mount on a Celestron 8" while stargazing in Reno with my father. Very stable platform for long exposures. Plus it adds a nice effect to the foreground due to the tracking. We had it tracking Antares at this point, so unfortunately, I had a bit of lens distortion on the left of the image.
This is 50 images at ISO 640, 15s, f2.8.

Old Digital Camera: Nikon D300 (2007)
Old Telescope: Celestron Firstscope 80 EQ (2000)
(Press "L" or click on the image for a large view).
Travel Notes: Took image with an old Achromatic refractor + 2X low quality teleconverter. Making it like a 1,800mm telephoto; but when you add the X1.5 crop factor of the DSLR, is like a 2,700mm Telephoto on a full-frame camera. Use a cable release, timer, and Nikon exposure Delay mode in order to minimize shutter vibration. No crop was done to the image. Edited on Adobe Camera Raw and Google Nik Collection, Color Efex Pro 4. If you click two times on the image for a 100% view; you will be able to see craters as small as 5 miles or 8 kilometers in diameter.
(Spanish/Bitácora: Utilice un viejo telescopio junto a un multiplicador. Lo cual lo convirtió en una distancia focal de 1,800mm. Pero al añadir el "crop factor" de la cámara, es casi equivalente a un lente telefoto de 2,700mm.
Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, and views.
This is my final image from my last planetary imaging session with Saturn - which I forgot to post!
Imaged during the evening of 19th September in poor seeing with Saturn at an altitude of a paltry 14°.
This may very well be the final image for me of this apparition as the planet is now getting close to and disappearing behind roofs when dark enough to image.
The post opposition shadow of the globe on the rings is showing nicely (rhs) with some nice pastel shades visible on the globe. Next year Saturn will be higher so, hopefully, seeing will improve..
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO ASI224MC camera with ADC. I also used an Explore Scientific focal extender.
Thanks for looking!
Mars imaged in difficult seeing conditions on the 28th November.
The planet was just three days short of its closest approach to Earth for this apparition.
Conditions were not great but the North Polar hood of cloud is showing some nice detail with some rifts evident.
The dark area at the centre of the image is Mare Cimmerium with the "thin" Sinus Gomer projecting above towards the lighter coloured Elysium Mons complex.. Bluish ice cloud haze is visible at the limbs and at the South Polar region (bottom)
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and Explore Scientific focal extender. A series of separate RGB filter runs (Baader) with my ZWO 290MM camera. The filtered images were combined and derotated using Winjupos.
Thanks for looking!

This is a third and final image I captured of the gas giant Jupiter during the early hours of the 13th August.
The planet had reached an altitude of 27 degrees. The great Red Spot can be seen in shadow lower right heading over the limb.
The image is the result of 2 RGB runs derotated with Winjupos. I used a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera with Baader RGB filters.
As ever many thanks for looking!
Saturn remains very low in the sky from here making imaging it more of a challenge. This image was captured in the gap between my garage and the house!
Quite pleased with the result as Saturn is only at almost 17°, close to the maximum altitude it will reach here. Hopefully things will improve in the coming years as the planet has began its slow climb in Northern Hemisphere skies.
The planet is showing a range of colours towards the north polar region. The southern polar region looks bluish.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera using Baader RGB filters. A total run of 5mins for each filter which were then derotated in Winjupos and combined to give the image. Hopefully more to come and thanks for looking!

This is an image captured during the evening of the 21st April of the Crater Archimedes region of the moon. Many craterlets are visible within Archimedes itself (the largest crater in the frame). There are a number of wrinkle ridges or Dorsa throughout on the relatively smooth floor of the Mare.
The chain of the Lunar Apennines Mountains lie to the right. Will post an annotated version later.
Imaged from the back garden with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera/Baader long pass filter.
#Jupiter and Io from the 11th October. I always feel a moon in the picture gives more of a sense of place.

I done this with eyepiece projection, taken 20 pictures and resized them and edited in RegiStax6, Paintshop Pro X8, Celestron 8" sct Canon T3i, 20mm eyepiece
Following on from the previous image this was Jupiter imaged at 23.31UT on the evening of the 12th August.
This is the result of three separate RGB filter runs derotated with Winjupos.
The planet was only at 18 degrees altitude. With a line of cloud exactly where I was imaging - the rest of the sky was clear...of course!! I managed to salvage these runs through fluctuating sky brightness.
The GRS (heading towards the right limb) has shrunk considerably in appearance and is within a dark capsule giving it the appearance of an eye!

Planet Saturn imaged from London on the 16th September 2021. It was skimming the rooftops when I took this as I left it a bit late!

NGC 4631 (aka the Whale Galaxy) is a barred spiral galaxy located in Canes Venatici. In this image I counted five smaller galaxies. The galaxy actually does look like a whale. I think it looks like a Blue whale, considering the length and where the blow hole is located :) .
Image taken using an ZWO 2600MM Pro camera with LRGB Baader filters. The telescope was a Stellarvue 102ED2 mounted on a Celestron CGX mount.
Images were processed in Pixinsight using a variety of processes and scripts. Total integration time was a little over 90 min at a Bortle 4-5 site.

A rework of M42 (and M43) as depicted using a 20cm Celestron Celestar 8 Deluxe Schmidt-Cassegrain catadioptric telescope and a f/6.3 focal reducer/corrector imaged by a Pentax K-3 II DSLR.
This was made by shooting 40 15-second exposures and 60 30-second exposures (all ISO 1600) with dark, flat, and bias frames (20 each).
The resulting exposures were registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker with layer processing in GIMP and noise removal/sharpening with Topaz.

Cette image est la composition de deux vidéos faites avec le R7 derrière un télescope Celestron C8 hedge, la focale est de 2000mm.
Malgré une turbulence bien présente avec une Lune pas très haute dans le ciel et une journée bien chaude (31°) ce qui n'est pas très favorable pour la turbulence.
Le traitement a été fait avec PIPP, AutoStakkert, Registax 6, Lightroom et Photoshop pour aboutir à l'image finale
