With Ultra Fractal software and a ton of experimentation, you can find most anything inside the Mandelbrot or Julia sets.
Is anyone able to confirm this? It could be a hot pixel, this is a 4 second exposure at ISO400. "The Sky" shows it right there.
Solar system objects imaged during the past year.
Equipment used Celestron cpc9.25 ZWO ASI 224mc except for the Mercury transit image which was a Skywatcher Skymax 150pro with the same camera.

The photograph is from the collection of Eric Burgess.
No clue on the artist.
As seen 2 days after opposition.
A low target from my latitude this year and my 150mm of aperture struggles to resolve banding or even the Cassini division.

Another shot of the lunar eclipse and super blood moon, taken in the early hours of 28 September. The photo was captured using my QHY8L camera and Altair Wave 115ED telescope.
In the northern part of North America, an occultation could be seen of Mars behind the Moon. In my location the Occultation did not occur. Mars is very faint next to the bright Moon although visually it was very bright and clear. This explains a little why we don’t see stars in astronomical images. Currently Mars is brighter than Sirius the brightest star in the night sky. Had to place a sign so people can see it.
Capturing Mercury this month has allowed me to put together this montage of the five naked eye planets imaged through my Nexstar Evolution 9.25. Planets are shown with size relative to their apparent size on the capture date. Venus looks so big when it's a crescent! I hope to get a better image of Jupiter this year now that it's rising higher in the sky.

Capturing Sunspot on my iphoneXR through Celestron Cometron 7x50 Binocular is really tough now those two solar filter caps by Thousands Oaks on bino will serve the purpose of solar astronomy (visual astronomy) like solar eclipse and sunspots. I will be buying a Thousand Oaks sheet for my Meade Infinity 80mm refractor for better view of sunspots till then enjoy this view.
EN| Captured on June 16, 2019.
In this capture of large field we can see in the constellation of Ophiuchus the full moon and the planet Jupiter in opposition, Observing a jupiter in the upper right you can see its 4 Galelian moons, from bottom to top: Callisto, Ganymede, Io and Europe.
ES| Conjunción de la Luna y Júpiter
En esta captura de gran campo podemos apreciar en la constelación de Ofiuco la luna llena y el planeta Júpiter en oposición, Observando a Júpiter en la parte superior derecha se puede apreciar sus 4 lunas galelianas, de abajo hacia arriba: Calisto, Ganímedes, Io y Europa.

For the first time on Pluto, this view reveals linear features that may be cliffs, as well as a circular feature that could be an impact crater.
Moon Eclipse on May 16, 2022

Lunar Eclipse on May 16, 2022 from Italy

The early hours of May 16, 2022, was not an easy eclipse. The Moon was well below the threshold of good resolution due to an annoying haze and the progressive absorption effect operated by the atmosphere, well perceptible during the advancement of the phenomenon.
Having taken standard shots, normalized automatically, the brightness is indicative of these factors with the addition of the light of the incipient dawn.
The first shot is with the Moon still completely out of the shadows. Then there are some shots during the penumbral phase, in which there is a progressive shading of the advancing side. With the beginning of the partial phase, all the shots are equally spaced until the last one, when the Moon was no longer visible even by extending the exposure.
Please note that the images were taken from Italy (coordinates in the localization TAG).
All shots were taken with Tair-3S (unit 2) + 2x Panagor telephoto lens on Kodak EOS 4000D (body2) at 200 ISO - 1/400s. Tracking was guaranteed by an EQ5. Other data in the EXIFs.

Jupiter imaged on 6th February when at opposition
8" SCT f/10, 2.5x Powermate, ASI120mm Camera RRGB
The quality of the image has suffered at the higher magnification of the powermate as conditions were quite poor.
Processed using AS!2, Registax 6 and PS CS6
Jupiter on May 14th 2020 at 0810.1UT. My first try imaging Jupiter this year. Seeing was average for my location with below average transparency and some light upper air winds at times. The moon Europa can be seen passing over Jupiter with Ganymede on the right.
Io completes a transit of Jupiter. Video captured with a Mewlon 210 and processed with RegiStax. Around 10:00pm PDT and Jupiter at 25 degrees elevation.
“This Voyager 2 high resolution color image, taken 2 hours before closest approach, provides obvious evidence of vertical relief in Neptune's bright cloud streaks. These clouds were observed at a latitude of 29 degrees north near Neptune's east terminator. The linear cloud forms are stretched approximately along lines of constant latitude and the sun is toward the lower left. The bright sides of the clouds which face the sun are brighter than the surrounding cloud deck because they are more directly exposed to the sun. Shadows can be seen on the side opposite the sun. These shadows are less distinct at short wavelengths (violet filter) and more distinct at long wavelengths (orange filter). This can be understood if the underlying cloud deck on which the shadow is cast is at a relatively great depth, in which case scattering by molecules in the overlying atmosphere will diffuse light into the shadow. Because molecules scatter blue light much more efficiently than red light, the shadows will be darkest at the longest (reddest) wavelengths, and will appear blue under white light illumination. The resolution of this image is 11 kilometers (6.8 miles per pixel) and the range is only 157,000 kilometers (98,000 miles). The width of the cloud streaks range from 50 to 200 kilometers (31 to 124 miles), and their shadow widths range from 30 to 50 kilometers (18 to 31 miles). Cloud heights appear to be of the order of 50 kilometers (31 miles). This corresponds to 2 scale heights. The Voyager Mission is conducted by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science and Applications.”

And/or, with the photograph’s impeccable provenance, the description possibly used in Mr. Burgess’s book “Far Encounter: The Neptune System”:
“Figure 4-6: Taken two hours before the spacecraft’s closest approach to Neptune, this image shows vertical relief in the cloud streaks. The linear cloud forms are stretched approximately along lines of constant latitude, and the Sun is toward the lower left. The bright sides of the clouds which face the Sun are brighter than the surrounding cloud deck because they are more directly exposed to the sun. Shadows can be seen on the side opposite the Sun. These shadows are less distinct at short ultraviolet wavelengths because they are cast on a lower cloud deck and scattering of light by the atmosphere above them diffuses light into the shadow. The shadows are darkest when observed in red light because molecules scatter the longer waves of red light less than blue or ultraviolet light. The widths of the cloud streaks range from 30 to 125 miles (50 to 200 km) and their heights appear to be about 30 miles (50 km) above the main cloud deck.”
The image was also the cover of the 1990 issue of “NASA Spinoff” magazine, by James Haggerty.
Field is about 9 degrees wide. Canon T6i with 135mm lens. One second exposure at F/2.5, ISO 400. Photo taken at 18:35 PST on 2/10, or 02:35 UT on 2/11. Redondo Beach, CA 34 North, 118 West (about).
The planets of our Solar System (excluding Earth for obvious reasons), captured in 2020 and 2021 with an 80mm refractor and a DSLR. I enjoyed the journey of pushing this typical beginner setup to its limit for planetary imaging. I “graduated” to a C6 and a dedicated planetary camera in 2022, and I’m hoping to create another Solar System composite soon with the best images from that setup. Can't believe I forgot to upload this until now!
