I read about a way to use the "live view" function of a DSLR to capture video. Video captured using EOS Movie Recorder, then processed with RegiStax. C11 telescope at prime focus.
Crop / enlargement
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager, located at the top of the rover's mast.
This image was acquired on March 11, 2025 (Sol 1442) at the local mean solar time of 10:45:46.

After looking closer at the photos I snapped I realized that I captured a Solar Mass Ejection or solar flare. Pretty excited about that! My guess is its many times larger then earth.
Here is a view of the planet Venus taken on January 25, 2017, now at 43% full and it will be progressively getting narrower and larger over the next few weeks.
Tech Specs: Meade LX90 12” Telescope, ZWO ASI290MC camera at prime focus, best 2,000 frames of 10,000 frames sampled. Taken from Weatherly, Pennsylvania. Software included SharpCap 2.9, Registax, and Adobe Lightroom.
Image made from video stacked and processed with RegiStax. 8" F/6 Newtonian with 2.5X barlow, image enlarged 1.5X from original.
Saturn 1 week after opposition. Best 1000 frames of a 2000 frame clip. Captured using a QHY IMG132E and Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. Processed using Autostakkert 2 and Registax 6
8" F/4 from Enterprise Optics with 1.8X Barlow. Video stacked and processed with RegiStax. High thin clouds reduced contrast.
Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, photographed on October 15, 2024, following a journey south of the Apennines in search of (almost) clear skies, ending in the hills of Montespertoli, Tuscany. Despite high humidity and the nearly full moon, both tails are clearly visible: the primary dust tail, which extends away from the Sun and beyond the frame, and the fainter anti-tail, which appears to point directly toward our star. The anti-tail is relatively rare and becomes visible for a few days when Earth passes through the orbital plane of a comet that contains a significant amount of dust, as is the case here.
Technical details: Canon EOS 6D with Nikkor 85 mm f/1.8 lens. 96x5s exposures at f/4, ISO 3200, tracked with a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer.
09 Apr. 2017, ZWO color video camera and Mewlon 180 at F/12. About 1200 frames stacked and processed with RegiStax.
My first image of the Sun!!! Shot on 1st June 2014 with a Canon DSLR 1100D, 1/3200 Shutter Speed, 200 ISO. Through 200/1000 Newtonian Telescope with a Baader Solar Filter. 10 frames stacked. Image shown in orange false colour to show more detail.
If you zoom in you will see sun spots and further detail. The sun spots are cooler than surrounding areas which is why they are dark.
Taken with a C9.25 telescope and ZWO video camera, stacked with RegiStax. Top image at F/10, bottom 200% enlargement.
Experimenting with Jupiter images. Apparently seeing got better as I took more videos.(It's clearer towards the end) The moon was setting so perhaps this had something to do with it.
The video is looped 3 times and the entire event is about 20 minutes. I just missed the Great Red Spot, it's seen on the first couple of frames on the lower right I converted this to black & white, I couldn't get the colors right. With more practice, maybe I'll figure it out.
21- 3000 frame videos, stacked best 500 frames from each in Registax, resulting in 7 images. Taken with 8" SCT & QHY5L-II.
