Here is a view of Jupiter from last evening, May 10, 2017 under less than favorable conditions. This is my first attempt at using the ASI camera along with a Televue 2.5x Powermate. The process looks promising if I get a night of good seeing. I also need to do a better alignment job to capture more than 2,500 frames of data. With this magnification, my framerate has dropped down to less than 40 fps.
Tech Specs: Meade 12” LX-90 telescope, ASI290MC camera, Televue 2.5x Powermate, Celestron CGEM-DX mount. Software included: FireCapture v2.5.10 x64, AutoStakkert! V3.0.14 (x64), Registax v6 and Adobe Lightroom. Date: May 10, 2017. Location: Weatherly, Pennsylvania.
Jupiter, with Io (Bottom) and Callisto (Top). Taken using a QHY IMG132E, attached to a Altair Wave 115 ED Triplet Refractor with a Tele Vue 2 x Powermate to increase magnification. It is the result of 400 images, stacked using AutoStakkert 2 and processed using RegiStax 6.
Unfortunately we cannot reveal beautiful features, as in Jupiter, because Neptune is much more distant from us, but it is worth the record. At the time of capture (carried out on a date contiguous to that of its opposition), Neptune (the last planet in the solar system from the Sun) was about 4.33 billion kilometers away from Earth.

Gassendi had diameter of 63 miles and a depth of 6,233 feet.
Another image acquired during my lunar imaging exercises back on the 20th. Gassendi has always been an eye-catcher with the criss-crossing rilles, designated Rimae Gassendi, and the numerous hummocks and rough spots across its floor. With the right angles of illumination, a great number of these dynamic features jump out.
During the Apollo era, Gassendi Crater was one of two primary landing site alternatives to the Apollo 17 site at Taurus-Littrow. The candidate location was south of the westernmost edge of its central peaks. The main scientific motivation landing there was the possibility of sampling ancient highland rocks in the crater's central peak. Sampling from the region would have also supplied ages for the Humorum basin impact and the Gassendi crater impact. However, engineering constraints kept this location from becoming an Apollo landing site because it was uncertain if the terrain was too rough and dangerous for astronauts to successfully approach the central peak and obtain a sample, but boy o boy what a panoramic view that would have been.

The bright top edge of Sinus Iridum is the Montes Jura mountain range.
We have a new sunspot visible on the Sun! Active Region 2765 is turning more directly into view from Earth. As it does so, this sunspot group is also growing. Within the past several hours, additional spots have started to emerge and depending on further development, could help the chances for at least minor C-Class solar flares. For now the Solar X-Rays remain stable. Something to keep an eye on as the day progresses.
We know AR2567 is a member of Solar Cycle 25 because of its magnetic polarity. According to Hale's Law, sunspots switch polarities from one solar cycle to the next. Southern sunspots from old Solar Cycle 24 have a -/+ polarity. This sunspot is the opposite: +/-, marking it as a member of Solar Cycle 25.
The primary dark core of AR2765 is about as wide as Earth, with two satellite sunspots closer in size to the Moon. A frothy wake of magnetic turbulence stretches 70,000 miles behind the trio. These dimensions make the sunspot group an easy target for backyard solar telescopes.

The moon Europa is transiting (and eclipsing shadow on surface of planet), and Io is off to the left side, the Great Red Spot just in view to the right.
93 million miles from us and with 28 times the gravity of the Earth, the Sun is not just the biggest object in the solar system, it is over 99% of it. Yes, all the planets, moons, asteroids and comets constitute less than 1% of all the mass in the solar system.
And yet... the Sun is just a tiny Yellow Dwarf star. A mere marble by comparison with the biggest stars discovered so far.
The Sun and everything else in the solar system all formed 4.6 billion year ago. Since then the Sun has been burning gas at a startling rate - 600 million tons per second - and yet it is only half way through its life.
This image was taken using a Coronado PST solar telescope and an Image Source DMK41 mono camera. It was processed in PIPP, AutoStakkert 3 and Photoshop.
If you are unfamiliar with images like this, you may be wondering why the Sun is red instead of yellow. This is because the filter used in the telescope blocks out all light apart from one lightwave - the one emitted by Hydrogen alpha. This is at 656 nanometers and is in the red area of visible light. Thus the Sun looks red through the telescope and not yellow as you would expect. There are other lightwaves that some filters are tuned to such as Calcium K which emits light at 454 nm and so the Sun looks blue through this filter.
Looking at the Sun at different lightwaves - and other wavelengths throughout the electromagnetic spectrum - allows scientists to analyse the Sun in different ways resulting in a greater understanding of our amazing star.

Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, 1 month after its 2023 opposition. One of the Galilean moons, Io, casts a dark shadow on the surface of Jupiter. The Great Red Spot is also visible near the center.
Coincidentally, the GRS and Io's shadow are almost in the same position as when I captured Jupiter at opposition. Notice how the angle between Io and its shadow has changed: flic.kr/p/2qEZLp5
Jupiter rotates about its axis every 10 hours, making it the fastest-rotating planet in the Solar System. As a result, it is noticeably wider at the equator. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, which creates turbulence and storms along the boundaries.

Same data as before, but this time, just to so how well it worked, I processed it through my solar stacking software SolHAT rather than using PiPP & AutoStakkert. My drizzle isn't nearly as good as Emils, but I like my alignment (though I told the software it was looking at the Moon since I haven't written in planetary support).

Taken from North Oxfordshire, UK with an Orion 10" Dobsonian telescope, Celestron 3x Barlow and ZWO ASI120MC camera. The telescope has tracking and GoTo but we are having some technical issues with it at the moment so I had to manually slew the telescope, keeping Jupiter in frame, while I captured a 2,000 frame video using SharpCap. I shot several videos over a ten minute period, whilst deal with stripes of thin cloud. I stacked the best 5%, 10% and 15% of the frames. This image was the best of the bunch and it was a stack of 5% of 2,000 frames.
The images were stacked using Autostakkert! 3, sharpened using Focus Magic, then processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. Considering the technical issues + cloud I am surprised I got this much detail! The dot to the left is Jupiter's Moon Io.

This is an area I have photographed several times over the years. It is a view along the terminator about 8 days after new moon, one day past first quarter. I took the video for this image November 25, 2017.
Many noteworthy craters appear in this image, and they are all familiar friends to those who examine the moon. Two trios of larger craters dominate the image. The upper trio includes the very large Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus, and Arzachel (at center). The lower trio are, from the top, Purbach, Regiomontanus, and Walther (bottom, right of center).
The high ridges where Purbach, LaCaille and Blanchinus craters intersect are responsible for the famous "Lunar X" visual feature. For a few hours, when sunlight first touches these ridges at the First Quarter Moon phase, they shine brightly against the dark, shadowy terminator in the shape of a distinctive "X".
Best 80% of 650 video frames. Preprocessing with PIPP to stretch whites to 90%, and crop to the area shown. Stacking with AutoStakkert!2 (3x drizzle), post-processing in Photoshop CC 2018.
