Moon. I used my 80mm ED refractor along with StarShoot SolarSystem Color Imager IV and software to create this image

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.

The weather has been awful here but a window of opportunity between Atlantic weather systems allowed me to image planet Mars, for the first time this apparition. The image was captured on the 18th November some 13 days before the closest approach to earth for this apparition. Mars reaches opposition on the 8th December.
Seeing was rather poor but visible on Mars's 98% illuminated globe are Syrtis Major, Hellas and Sinus Meridiani.
The hood of white-blue Martian clouds covering the north polar cap are strikingly bright at bottom of the image. Some cloud structure is visible.
Hopefully more to come! Thanks for looking!
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and an Explore Scientific focal extender. Attached to this was a ZWO 290MM camera with Baader RGB filters. A total of 6 RGB filter runs derotated with Winjupos.
Thick grey clouds. So dark. So a little play with some oil on water. I am pretending that is the sun and planets.
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.

Captured an hour later than the previous image (at UT 09:04), this is from my only recording in a second session truncated by clouds. Fortunately seeing was still very good, so one recording was all I needed. Clouds near the western limb had increased between images.
Mars was magnitude -1.87 with angular diameter of 17.20", and was 99.8% illuminated.

Jupiter on July 20th. Seeing was above average with average transparency with a humid and hazy sky. The Great Red Spot (GRS) is shown crossing with a lot of turbulence following. The feature known as the "chimney" is shown to be open now. This feature is the bright broken area in the dark ring that surrounds the GRS. The "chimney" is located at the 1 O'clock position above the GRS. Image taken with ZWO ASI174MM camera and Meade 12inch LX200 scope.
This image of our nearest planetary neighbour, Venus, was captured on the 6th of June, 2023. The image was captured using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) pass filters.
The planet was shining brightly in the western sky at the time - hard to ignore!
Venus's illuminated phase was gradually decreasing as the apparent size was increasing. The planet would later go on to reach inferior conjunction with the sun on 13th August.
Some delicate cloud structures are evident together with the typical lighter coloured poles of the planet. It is quite fascinating to see how the cloud structure has altered in comparison to my previous UV/IR image, which was captured 3 days earlier.
This image was acquired with an ultraviolet pass filter. I used a Baader U Filter, which enabled the capture of cloud details in the thick Venusian atmosphere. This was used in conjunction with an IR pass filter to give the final image.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM through a Baader U Filter and Baader 685nm IR pass filter.
Thanks for looking!
The dwarf planet has sent a love note back to Earth via our New Horizons spacecraft, which has traveled more than 9 years and 3+ billion miles. This is the last and most detailed image of Pluto sent to Earth before the moment of closest approach - 7:49 a.m. EDT today. This same image will be released and discussed at 8 a.m. EDT today. Watch our briefing live on NASA Television at: www.nasa.gov/nasatv The high res pic will be posted on the web at: www.nasa.gov.
This stunning image of the dwarf planet was captured from New Horizons at about 4 p.m. EDT on July 13, about 16 hours before the moment of closest approach. The spacecraft was 476,000 miles (766,000 kilometers) from the surface.

NASA’s Perseverance rover is well into its second science campaign, collecting rock-core samples from features within an area long considered by scientists to be a top prospect for finding signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. The rover has collected four samples from an ancient river delta in the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater since July 7, bringing the total count of scientifically compelling rock samples to 12.
Twenty-eight miles (45 kilometers) wide, Jezero Crater hosts a delta – an ancient fan-shaped feature that formed about 3.5 billion years ago at the convergence of a Martian river and a lake. Perseverance is currently investigating the delta’s sedimentary rocks, formed when particles of various sizes settled in the once-watery environment. During its first science campaign, the rover explored the crater’s floor, finding igneous rock, which forms deep underground from magma or during volcanic activity at the surface.
In this image, NASA’s Perseverance rover puts its robotic arm to work around a rocky outcrop called “Skinner Ridge” in Mars’ Jezero Crater. Composed of multiple images, this mosaic shows layered sedimentary rocks in the face of a cliff in the delta, as well as one of the locations where the rover abraded a circular patch to analyze a rock’s composition.

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..

This looks like a flipped version of the "Saturn's rings" photo (Photo ID: P-23883C/BW) from the NASA NSSDC Photo Gallery: nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery-saturn.html
It was taken by Voyager 2 on July 21, 1981.
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.
