I embarked on a mammoth lunar imaging session on 10th February so I could produce an animation showing the sunrise over some prominent craters. I've already shared the video I created with the data but am now sharing the still images. If you didn't see the animation you can watch it here:
I was imaging from15:45 UT until 22:30 UT and during that time the Moon changed its illumination from 69% to 72%.
Taken from Oxfordshire with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera through a Celestron 3x Barlow. A 2,000 frame video was shot with SharpCap and depending on the quality graph I stacked either 50 or 25% of the frames using Autostakkert! 3. Processing with Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer.
Saturn on the night of August 6th. Saturn reached opposition on July 20th this year (less than a week after Jupiter). A total of 5,671 frames from 3 videos shot at a gain setting of 80% and at an exposure of 0.058343 seconds were used to make this composite image. Saturn's moons were brought out by processing all the video frames and blending the stacked result with the first processing. The moons you can see are Titan (bottom left), Rhea (centre left) and Dione (centre right). The final picture was resampled to make it larger while maintaining image quality as much as possible.

Been a while since I've shot the ISS, and this is my first decent non-transit photo of it in years! Lucked out with clear skies, [an 83 degree pass](i.imgur.com/zZTD2KZ.png), and average seeing according to astrospheric. I captured 10,000 frames of raw video which filled out ~20GB of space. Thanks to my hand tracking 1[10 of the 10,208 frames contained the ISS](i.imgur.com/129xyrA.gifv), and I ultimately used a passthrough of 30 consecutive frames for stacking the final image (seen at the end of the gif). [For those curious these are the vehicles docked to the ISS at the time of the photo](i.imgur.com/xDrP9D0.png). I think for future flyovers I'll up the exposure a little, and try to better focus and work out some astigmatism in the mirror that I've noticed previously. Captured on January 18th, 2022 from my bortle 6 driveway.

On Monday 22nd March 2021 at 20:08:53 GMT the International Space Station transited the 62% Waxing Gibbous Moon. Fortunately our back garden was just 0.3 km from the centre line so I was able to capture this despite the fact we're still in lockdown. There was a lot of thin cloud around so conditions were tricky!
Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera. A 1,340 frame video was captured using SharpCap, then the individual frames were extracted using PIPP. The 27 frames that contained the ISS were then stacked using StarStaX in Lighten mode. The stacked image was processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. I then did a stack of the best 50% of the video frames using Autostakkert! 3 to give me a better result on the Moon. Once I'd processed that, I blended the stacked image with the ISS frames. This image is a crop showing the six frames where the ISS looked like it was flying over Copernicus!
This is only the second time I've imaged an ISS transit where the ISS was illuminated. It makes it much easier to see when it's about the cross the Moon!
I think this is my best attempt so far. My first time getting details inside the GRS.

Take a close look at this image, can you find the ghost crater? That is Copernicus on the left, Eratosthenes to the upper right, now look between them and down, that dim circle is the crater Stadius. Stadius is a remnant of an ancient crater that has been filled in with lava flows. Stadius is about 69km wide and was named after Johannes Stadius or Estadius (ca. 1 May 1527 – 17 June 1579), who was a Flemish astronomer, astrologer, and mathematician.

This video shows the evolution of crater shadows as the Sun rises over lunar Crater Maurolycus. Above Maurolycus you can also see sunrise over Gemma Frisius and Goodacre. To the lower left, you can see the rim of crater Licetus has become illuminated by the final image.
Images taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor, Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. The telescope was on an EQ5 tracking mount, tracking at lunar rate. The Moon was a 40% illuminated Waxing Crescent.
I took a 2,000 frame video of the crater using SharpCap Pro at 17:22, 18:42, 20:12 and 21:04 GMT which was shortly before I lost the Moon behind a tree. I stacked the best frames using Autostakkert! 3; depending on the video quality I stacked between 50 and 70% of the frames. The stacked images were processed in Lightroom and turned into a video using Movie Maker 10. The first image was taken before it got dark so it isn't as crisp as the other images in the set.
I love seeing how shadows evolve over time and each time I watch this I see something else interesting!
Messier 36 (M36 or NGC 1960) lies at a distance of about 4,100 light years away from Earth and is about 14 light years across. There are at least sixty members in the cluster. The cluster is very similar to the Pleiades cluster (M45), and if it were the same distance from Earth it would be of similar magnitude.

At 15:32 GMT on 10th December, the International Space Station transited the 46% Waxing Crescent Moon. Most of the transit was across the shadow side of the Moon so it can't really be distinguished from the background sky! Given the windy conditions. lots of cloud, the Moon was still quite low above the houses and the fact it was a daytime event I'm pleased to have caught anything at all!
Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC. Video was captured in SharpCap. The individual video frames were extracted using PIPP then stacked using StarStaX.
There is a VLOG all about this event over on my You Tube channel which you can view here:

27% Waxing Crescent Moon. Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor with ASI120MC camera + Celestron 3x Barlow. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier.
2,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap, the best 30% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3 then processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The first video I shot was pretty clear but then thin cloud was moving across the Moon for the remainder of the imaging session.
This region shows the Theophilus crater trio on the left side, with Mare Nectaris to the right and beyond that, Mare Fecunditatis. I absolutely love this region of the lunar surface.

Captured July 4, 2019 at around 10:45pm ET (02:45 5July UT). Jupiter is still relatively close to earth since reaching opposition in mid-June, just over 400 million miles away. The Great Red Spot rotates into view every 10 hours, and Jupiter is only easily viewed from my yard for about an hour each clear night as it passes between the rooftops and trees. Here the GRS is about to disappear again but the shadow of moon Io has just started crossing the face of the gas giant.

A collage utilizing both H-alpha and CaK imaging of our Sun. Subframe positions is "artistic" and does not represent correct orientation compared to Sun - all images are however taken by me excluding the Apollo era (free) picture of Earth showing approximate scale. Pictures taken in southern Finland during summers of 2016 and 2017 as I haven't had time to image at all lately.
See www.flickr.com/photos/130947324@N08/46483974944/ for labels.
Recorded with BW ASI178mm camera, colors added in post production. H-alpha images colored to red and yellow and they are partially inverted to pop out surface details, protuberances and filaments. CaK is colored to blue to mimic imaging bandwidth for CaK.
H-alpha: 656.28 nm (deep red in reality) hydrogen line. Tunable wavelength. Exposure times around 2 ms.
CaK: About 8 nm wide bandpass at the Calcium II K-Line centered around 395 nm (ultraviolet). Exposure time of about 0.8 ms.
Prefilter: Baader D-ERF (with H-alpha), Baader AstroSolar film (with CaK)

Typically stacked a best few percents of 5000 images to create each of the separate photos. Full disk H-alpha sun is a composite of several sub images. I roughly estimated that I collected about 180 000 frames and 775 GB of uncompressed AVI video as raw material. Final stacked image number should be close to 4000 in that composite.

At the start of the transit it didn't look as if i was going to see very much. But I got lucky and the clouds broke about 15 minutes into it. I only had time to take single frames as the clouds were virtually constant.

Although I was very pleased to capture this (my second Mercury transit) in all honesty I am slightly disappointed in that I wasn't able to use by Solar telescope. I did try to set it up but I was unable to see any granulation. If anybody has any suggestions on why the LUNT LS60THa wont seem to sharpen the solar detail please let me know.
