On July 10th I took 24 Videos of Jupiter from 9:54pm until 11:49pm. I processed each video into a stacked image and took all 24 images and processed them for clarity and sharpness. I then used those images to create this video showing how much Jupiter rotates in just 2 hours and how much the moons Ganymede (upper) and Io (lower) moved during this time.
Videos captured with a ASI1600MC camera ion a 9.25 SCT telescope using Sharpcap, Stacked using PIPP and Autostacker and Post processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Unusually clear skies for two consecutive nights, free of aircraft con trails amidst the Covid 19 lockdown. This was my second attempt at getting enough data on this target to process in Hubble palette. On the previous attempt the clouds rolled in before I captured any SII data. As the season for this target was drawing to a close I was very pleased to get the opportunity to image it again.

M2 is a globular cluster in the constellation of Aquarius and is about 55,000 light-years distant from Earth. At 175 light-years in diameter, it is one of the larger globular clusters known. The cluster is rich, compact, and significantly elliptical. It is 13 billion years old and one of the older globulars associated with the Milky Way galaxy.
M2 contains about 150,000 stars, including 21 known variable stars. Its brightest stars are red and yellow giant stars. The overall spectral type is F4. M2 is part of the Gaia Sausage, the hypothesised remains of a merged dwarf galaxy.

On 12-18-2020 I was able to capture Saturn and Jupiter at the same time in my astro camera.
Taken with the ASI1600MC through a 8 inch Celestron SCT scope. A stack of the best 20% of 5000 video frames. Taken with SharpCap and stacked in AstroStackert. Post processed in Lightroom to brighten Saturn a bit to balance with Jupiter and to enhance Jupiter's moons.

The Eagle Nebula also known as the Star Queen Nebula and The Spire, is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula, an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation.

Messier 70 or M70, also known as NGC 6681, is a globular cluster of stars to be found in the south of Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1780. The famous comet Hale–Bopp was discovered near this cluster in 1995.
It is about 29,400 light years away from Earth and around 6,500 light-years from the Galactic Center. It is roughly the same size and luminosity as its neighbour in space, M69. M70 has a very small core radius of 0.22 ly (0.068 pc) and a half-light radius of 182.0 ly (55.80 pc). This cluster has undergone core collapse, leaving it centrally concentrated with the luminosity distribution following a power law.
There are two distinct stellar populations in the cluster, with each displaying unique abundances. These likely represent different generations of stars. Five known variable stars lie within its broadest radius, the tidal radius, all of which are RR Lyrae variables. The cluster may have two blue stragglers near the core.

The Snake Nebula (also known as Barnard 72) is a dark nebula in the Ophiuchus constellation. It is a small but readily apparent SP-shaped dust lane that snakes out in front of the Milky Way star clouds from the north-north-west edge of the bowl of the Pipe Nebula. Its thickness runs between 2′ and 3′ and runs around 6′ in the north-west / south-east orientation. A good view in a 4" to 6" telescope requires clear dark skies. It is part of the much larger Dark Horse Nebula.

Zona centro meridionale degli Appenini Lunari.
Questa zona è molto ricca di dettagli. Il primo lo troviamo quasi all'inizio della caneta montuosa, ovvero la Rima Hadly, sede dell'allunaggio dell'Apollo 15. Numerose rimae poi si stagliano dalle pendici delle montagne,una fra queste la Rima Bradley. In alto ci sono due gra di crateri, Archimede e Autolycus, il primo ha un diametro di circa 81km ed è profondo circa 2km, il secondo invece non raggiunge i 40km di diametro.
Impressionanti le omnbre che si stagliano dai monoliti presenti nel Mare Imbrium, alla sinistra di Archimede, così come quelle proiettate dalle stesse vette dei monti Appennini.
In penombra troviamo il cratere sommerso Wallace, i cui bordi sono illuminati dalla luce radenete del sole mentre in basso a sinistra, quasi del tutto immerso nell'ombra esclusa la parete est del bordo, troviamo il cratere Eratostene.
In ultimo, difficile da individuare se non si è esperti di geografia Lunare, si vede anche il minuscolo cratere "Ina", del diametro di appena 2km, che ha destato non poco interesse da parte degli scienziati poiché è di colore azzurro, tant'è che viene chiamato anche "Blu Lake".

This is my first M27 image with this filter and it reveals far more Oxygen (blue green) than the previous image with no filter. The faint halo is actually visible which I've never seen before.
The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. It was the first such nebula to be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.

NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius. The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark disks of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
