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.
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope + Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount, tracking at solar rate.
2,000 frame video captured with SharpCap, the best 75% stacked using Autostakkert! 3, then processing was done using Lightroom, Photoshop CS2, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic.
This was an impressive region of prominence activity on the south eastern limb, and it was amazing to see how the area had changed in the space of an hour. There were several filaments visible on the disc as well.

This is an uncalibrated image composed of 15 three-minute stacked images. I was using SharpCap for my imaging software and I made a number of dumb mistakes while using it. It's a very good astrophotography software, but there are too many bells and whistles for me. I feel like I would need to compose checklists to use it competently. I think I will stick with NINA. It has an internal logic that forces one to follow a specific workflow so dumb mistakes are harder to make. I do like SharpCap for lunar, solar, and planetary imaging.
Regardless, I'm glad I got any type of an image of the Hickson 44 galaxy group, located in the Constellation Leo, from my Bortle 7 suburban location. Light pollution makes galaxy photography difficult, even with filters. This image reminds me of what I would see while visual observing with my old 10” Dob under a dark sky.
I used a TMB80 f5.6 APO refractor and a ZWO ASI585MC (the non-Pro version). These galaxies are roughly 70 million light years away, so the light that made this image was emitted before the extinction of the dinosaurs. Blows my mind!
Here's a link to a Cloudynight article by Phil Harrington that gives a good summary of the galaxies' characteristics.

Skywatcher 200P on NEQ6, 4x Televue Powermate and ZWO ASI120MC. Best 4000 of 6000 frames captured with Sharpcap 2 and stacked in AS!2. Waveles in Registax 5.1 and further sharpening in Photoshop CS2
24x120 second subframes,
Total exposure 48 minutes.
Quite a lot of high level cloud, light wind and not grey seeing. My FWHM values are quite a lot worse than the comparable image with the 350D. But still, it's a first light picture!
Quite a learning curve going from the DSLR to the dedicated Astro camera. Quite glad I went OSC before Mono... although this camera exposes the CA of the achromat a lot more than the DSLR seemed to (perhaps because the CA hid amongst the chromatic noise with the DSLR).
Imaging:
Skywatcher Evostar 150,
QHY163C at -10degrees, gain 10, Astronomik CLS filter.
Guiding:
unbranded 50mm, 190mm focal length, finder-guider,
Orion SSAG.
All on
Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro
Captured using SharpCap. Guided using PHD2.
Stacked and processed in DSS, Fitswork and Gimp.

Shot from yard near Natural Bridge, VA on 9/11-9/12/21. 2 minute exposures, Samyang 135 mm lens at F2, cooling at -10C. No guiding employed. Orion Atlas Pro mount, SharpCap and Pixinsight. Night was clear and as dark as SQM=21.35. Unfortunately image resolution greatly reduced due to error in a binning setting in SharpCap (set to 4 instead of 1) which I did not catch. This will just be a placeholder image till I can re-shoot this, if I ever do.

Taken with a 9.25 Celestron SCT using a QHY5II-C camera with 3x barlow. I used Sharpcap as the capturing software. I took 1000 frame video and then used Autostakkert to stacke the best 26% of the frames into a single image, then sharpened the image in Registax and adjusted the color and brightness in Lightroom.
