This image of Saturn is the result of stacking 20 photographs taken during NASA's Cassini-Huygens Mission in 2004, while the orbiter was approaching the gas giant to about five million kilometers.

The download and processing of these photographs of Saturn is due to a nostalgic impulse, since in my area we have spent many cloudy and rainy days, which prevent me from making any observations with a telescope.

I did the stacking with AutoStakkert and the processing with Gimp.

This is a photo of the Total Lunar Eclipse of September 7th, 2025. The Moon was only 14 degrees above the horizon at the maximum eclipse. It was a rather faint eclipse. Furthermore, the final stages were not visible, due to some low clouds.

This was the 41st lunar eclipse of Saros 128, which began on June 18th, 1304 AD and will end on August 2nd, 2566.

I wish everyone health and clear skies!

Lunar eclipse from September 7th, 2025 during totality. The image is a HDR blend stacked out of a 2-minute video at 60fps.

Taking a video allows me to extract thousands of images (60 per second), automatically select the best frames (without clouds) using software such as Autostakkert and then stack them all together to produce a detailed image with high signal-to-noise ratio.

The result is this 300-image stack. Hoping we have much better weather for the next eclipse.

Jupiter as imaged using a ZWO ASI224MC Astrocam through a vintage-1998 Celestron Celestar 8 Deluxe 2032mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope plus a Celestron Ultima SV-Series 2x Barlow . The best 18% of over 7000 frames were pre-processed in PIPP then aligned and stacked using Autostakkert! 3 with wavelets processed using Registax 6. North is up.

Visible are 2 of Jupiter's moons, Io to the left and Europa on the right, and the rightmost dark spot is Ganymede transiting, with a shadow transit on the surface.

This picture was captured using a telescope with a Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) filter. This lets us see the Sun's chromosphere. As a result we can see many solar features, such as sunspots (seen here as black dots, plage (beach), seen here as bright white areas, filaments (black lines) and prominences (seen around the edge).
