Moon. I used my 80mm ED refractor along with StarShoot SolarSystem Color Imager IV and software to create this image
Moon high in the sky at sunset, the blue hour starting. Unfortunately the evening sky began to cloud over.

The easiest way to understand Lagrange points is to think of them in much the same way that wind speeds can be inferred from a weather map. The forces are strongest when the contours of the effective potential are closest together and weakest when the contours are far apart.
Lagrange Contours
L4 and L5 correspond to hilltops and L1, L2 and L3 correspond to saddles (i.e. points where the potential is curving up in one direction and down in the other). This suggests that satellites placed at the Lagrange points will have a tendency to wander off (try sitting a marble on top of a watermelon or on top of a real saddle and you get the idea). But when a satellite parked at L4 or L5 starts to roll off the hill it picks up speed. At this point the Coriolis force comes into play - the same force that causes hurricanes to spin up on the earth - and sends the satellite into a stable orbit around the Lagrange point.

Very good seeing this night. The mount for the C14 is currently out of commission, so I used my Edge HD 925 with a CGEM DX mount the school has.
This is from 13 45 s SER files taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera with 3x Barlow and a ZWO UV/IR cut filter. I used FIreCapture to take this data. SER files were used to create stacks of the best 24% of about 800 frames in AutoStakkert, and those stacks were processed in PixInsight. The resulting images were registered and derotated in WinJUPOS, with the result undergoing some final tweaks in GIMP.
During the next shadow transit, Titan will also cross the face of Saturn.

Thick grey clouds. So dark. So a little play with some oil on water. I am pretending that is the sun and planets.
Reprocess of a Jupiter image from last week. Additional sharpening was applied and then de-noised using Topaz Labs de-noise which is an amazing piece of software

Comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS), currently the brightest comet in the sky. This image is from the dark and clear morning of June 30th from suburban Bloomington, Ind., with the comet against the rich star background of the constellation Ophiucus. It will be getting a little closer to Earth in the next couple of weeks and so may still be a bit brighter, but will be up against a bright, full Moon, so this may be the best I can do.
29 frames, 180 sec. each. Explore Scientific ED102 102mm f/7 refractor, ZWO ASI294MC Pro cooled camera, UV/IR cutoff filter, iOptron CEM25P mount, auto-guided, ASIAir controller. Processed in Astro Pixel Processor, Lightroom, and Photoshop.
Images were combined twice, once with the stars aligned but the comet trailed and again with the comet registered but the stars trailed. These two rendered images were combined in Photoshop to produce the composite.

This uses 6 60s stacks each of R, G, and B filter images. The best 58% of frames in red stacks were used along with the best 42% of frames in green and blue stacks. Captured with a Celestron Edge HD 925 with a ZWO ASI120MM camera and Optolong RGB filters using FireCapture 2.5. Stacking done in AutoStakkert, initial processing in PixInsight, derotation and channel combination in WinJUPOS, final processing in Photoshop and Topaz Labs.
Central meridian on Mars is 25° in this image. The area explored by the Opportunity rover is just to the right of center, in that brighter peninsula that juts downward in the dark features. There's some interesting weather happening near the north polar cap (at top), and it looks like there are some clouds about to rotate into view at the lower left.

6 panel mosaic using Celestron Edge HD11 and EOS Rebel T3i
Taken with a ZWO ASI120MM camera and Optolong CCD RGB filters and a Celestron Edge HD 925 telescope from my backyard in Long Beach, CA.
The best 35% of frames from SER videos with each of the filters were stacked in AutoStakkert. This created 6 images in each of the three color filters. Those images were sharpened in PixInsight. All images with the same color filter were derotated and combined in WinJUPOS, then the R, G, and B stacks were derotated and combined to create the color image. I used Registax to get the color balance right, that did some small final touches in Photoshop.
Thank you to Damian Peach for making processing tutorials available through his Patreon channel. I was really struggling with getting Saturn to look right before viewing those.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR NICE COMMENTS! I am absolutely shocked!

The photo was taken at 40 m above sea level at El Hierro (Canay islands), close the Restinga harbour (appearing as the red lights on the lower left corner of the image). The camera settings were: ISO3200, 12 mm at f/4, 30 s exposure. I forgot to take my tripod and thus had to shoot with the camera on the floor. Anyway, the trial and error technique produced some results. I am still wondering what the car drivers passing nearby three guys with cameras and in total darkness were thinking of.

Nearest point to Earth since 1948 and here in Coventry it was quite elusive due to the clouds and rain.
In the view here is the Tycho Crater bottom right which appears like a south pole with lines generating outwards. Moving north west from Tycho is the Sea Of Clouds and the Sea Of Moisture. On the far western view is the Ocean Of Storms which is around a very large crater Copernicus. Moving eastwards toward the centre is the Sea Of Rain which takes up the more central part of the picture. Continuing eastwards you will see the Sea Of Serenity and then the Sea Of Tranquility made famous by the moon landings of the 1960's and 1970's. Then comes the Sea Of Crisis and finally the piece with the huge crater Langrenus to the north east is the Sea Of Fertility.
This is my first color attempt at Mars with my new planetary setup. I like what I've been able to do with Jupiter and Saturn so far, but Mars is tricky. I'm not sure if I "overcooked" the features here.

La Luna di stasera, bellissima, galleggia nel cielo blu dell'imbrunire... sospesa fra luce e buio. La sottile linea del terminatore evidenzia crateri, montagne, solchi, valli... testimonianze di un passato remoto alquanto travagliato... che contrasta immensamente con la visione romantica del nostro amato satellite.
Di questi tempi, c'è poco altro da fare che alzare gli occhi al cielo..

Venus conjunction with Crescent moon on 09 Oct 2021 in Scorpius constellation. However, Venus is paired with star called Dschubba. In this image, planet Venus is about 3 arc degree from the 3 days old Moon. Also, you can see the Earthshine on the Moon’s dark side with 9% illuminated crescent.

It was really fun capturing this year’s blood moon. I wasn’t expecting to see it due to the back to back storms we’ve been having, but Mother Nature was kind and moved the clouds for about an hour so we could enjoy it! I wish I’d captured it rising over something interesting, but I still think it’s mesmerizing by itself surrounded by the night sky.

Exploration reveals that our solar system is filled with amazingly diverse places that transform our understanding of Earth and worlds beyond.
The Kenneth C. Griffin Exploring the Planets Gallery probes the science and history of our exploration of planets and moons. This exhibit tells the stories of the diversity of worlds circling our Sun and how exploring those worlds helps enhance our own understanding of Earth. Exploring the Planets draws on research from scientists in the Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, who are actively involved in current planetary missions.
Captured just before dawn from Red Rock Canyon State Park, CA. Five minute exposure, unguided, with a WO RedCat.
Well I have done my best to try and catch up with everyone, I was so far behind that I could only favourite photo's that I like as I just don't have the energy to comment on the all. I really want to keep up with everyone but I can't promise because I have been feeling so tired.
Today I managed to get a few photo's sorted that I hope to post over the next few days, mostly wildlife shots from last year plus of course photo's of Cirrus and Sweet Pea.
