In the upper left - Bullialdus crater. 38 miles in diameter and 2.2 miles deep. Located in western Mare Nubium (Sea of Clouds), with terraced inner walls and showing many signs of landslides. The outer ramparts are covered in a wide ejecta blanket that highlights a radial pattern of low ridges and valleys. In the center of the crater is a formation of several peaks and rises that climb to approx 2/3 of a mile in height.
Towards the south the lavafilled crater that looks like it has a paint drip pointing southward is Kies. It is the remnants of a crater that has been flooded by basaltic lava, and only the outer rim remains.
To the south-southwest (8 o'clock position) lies a lunar dome structure designated Kies Pi (π). It has a small crater at the top, and is most likely volcanic in origin.
Rima Hesiodus is seen running 187 miles from SW to NE and ends at its namesake crater, Hesiodus, and notice the nearly bulls-eye impact named Hesiodus-D, and just to the south see the unusual circular crater with a concentric inner wall named Hesiodus-A.
Just east of Hesiodus, and on the right center of the field of view is Pitatus, an ancient impact crater located at the southern edge of Mare Nubium. The complex wall of Pitatus is heavily worn, and has been encroached by lava flows Pitatus is a floor-fractured crater, meaning it was flooded from the interior by magma intrusion through cracks and openings. Rimae Pitatus is the slender clefts that
mark the crater floor, and the more prominent portions of these rills can be seen following the edges of the inner walls.
The western end of Rima Hesiodus extends into Palus Epidemiarum (Marsh of Epidemics). Just to the south of the western end of the rille is Capuanus crater which also hosts a few lunar domes, nicely revealed in this low angle of sunlight. These domes are also believed to be volcanic in origin. Notice also some ejecta ray material from Tycho in the Mare Nubium.

Knowing seeing was dreadful I still went out to see if I could image Mars. Seeing was appalling, Mars was only at 10 degrees, the same as my winter Sun, so therefore was in the tree as well. I am amazed this came out, honestly, Mars was never a round circle so I don't know how Autostakkert made it one :)

The Moon. This shot was taken on the night of 7-1-20. I don't normally do Moon or planet imaging, but I was tweaking part of my rig and the Moon as there ... so why not? I shot a 200 frame high res video sequence using my ZWO ASI294MC-Pro camera and SharpCap Pro software. When you watch the video you have see the image of the Moon wavering around as the atmosphere was distorting it. The video was analyzed and the sharpest 66 frames were stacked using Autostakkert 3 software. I then used Registax software to do Wavelet sharpening of the image. Finally, Photoshop was used to finish things up. It was interesting to try out a different form of capture and image processing.....

Transit of the moon Ganymede (largest moon in the Solar System) over Jupiter, with a projection of its shadow on the planet. In the images, the moon Ganymede is the spherical (grey hued) object seen in the vicinity of the Great Red Spot. Ganymede's shadow projection appears as a dark circle near the center of Jupiter.
"Fifth in line from the Sun, Jupiter is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter's familiar stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a giant storm bigger than Earth that has raged for hundreds of years".

"Posidonius"
Posidonius is located on the north-eastern edge of Mare Serenitatis, to the south of Lacus Somniorum and ominously named Lacus Mortis, which was featured in an image I posted two days ago. Posidonius is 95 km wide and 2.3 km deep. It is an impressive crater, with many distinctive features that make it fun to examine through a telescope. Here it is seen in "afternoon" lighting, with the sunlight coming in at a moderate angle from the west.
Posidonius is a textbook example of a "floor-fractured crater". Close examination will immediately reveal the reason for this designation: the floor of the crater is crisscrossed by numerous large cracks. This kind of crater is most often found in the regions of the moon near lunar mare. The mechanism of their formation involves several stages. Sometime after the impact event that gouged out the crater, lava upwelled from the lunar interior and formed a magma chamber beneath the crater. Pressure within the magma chamber then lifted the entire floor of the crater, creating a bulge. Eventually the lava found its way to the surface through cracks in the crater floor and covered it to considerable depth. As the lava cooled, it contracted, cracked, and slumped back downward into voids in the magma chamber. The cracks within the crater are known collectively as Rimae Posidonius.
Posidonius lacks a notable central peak. Instead, numerous hills are seen. One relatively unique feature is the "doubling" of the eastern rim. It appears that there might be a second crater rim, or perhaps part of the original eastern rim broke away and slumped toward the center of the crater . Posidonius also features a prominent (11 km diameter) secondary crater within it called Posidonius A.
The area to the southeast of Posidonius is quite rugged and mountainous. This is a portion of the Montes Taurus. Here too are prominent fissures. The most prominent lies to the east of Posidonius. This is Rima G.Bond. The area is riddled with a multitude of small craterlets and many old, worn craters.
In contrast, the area to the west of Posidonius seems remarkably featureless and smooth. This is Mare Serenitatis, the "Sea of Serenity". Serene indeed. A few small craters pock the surface, and long, low ridges meander across its expanse. Whatever history of intense meteor bombardment this area has received over the eons, most evidence of it was covered up by the vast lava flows that created this mare. In fact, this entire sea was created by an enormous collision of the Moon and an asteroid, which created the Serenitatis Impact Basin, one of several such basins seen on the Moon. "Serene"? Maybe not so much.

Fue la tarde/noche más fría pero la noche se presentó ideal porque había poca turbulencia atmosférica y logramos capturas de 7000 imágenes para luego hacer el apilado.
Espero les guste el resultado.

8) Application of an Advanced Filter
9) Application of the Photoshop Plug-in "APF-R"
10) Final application of the "Camera Raw Filter - Sharpness".
This was another tough imaging session, with the planets playing hide and seek with endless bands of cloud, rain showers and a biting wind. Thankfully we had some brief gaps to get more photos of this awesome event!
Taken by Mary and Mark McIntyre from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC on a Star Adventurer Mini. We shot as many 1,000 frame videos as we could during the gaps. The videos used to create this image were taken at 17:36 and 17:45.
All the processing on this was done by me, Mark has processed them himself as well and is posting on his own Flickr page too.
The videos were stacked using Autostakkert! 3; the first one was 50% of 1,000 frames, the second was 65% of 1,000 frames. The stacked images were then processed using Lightroom. I did a parallel process on the 17:36 video, one to brighten Saturn and the other to turn the brightness down on Jupiter to preserve the detail. The video at 17:45 had a higher exposure setting to bring out the Galilean Moons. This final image is a blend of those three different exposures to create an image with a larger dynamic range.
Given the weather forecast for tomorrow when they're even closer, I'm so pleased we were able to capture this today. This is not a big telescope so it's mind blowing that we were able to pick up so much!
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 and a Canon 600D. 4 image stack in Autostakkert. Having colour problems when using PIPP to convert RAW images to tiffs. No issues at all when using PIPP to convert jpg's. These colour artifacts only appear during wavelet sharpening after stacking, as a result the above image is only a 4 image stack but still some red artifacts, any more than 4 I get green artifacts. JPG's are so much more reliable and faster to process and are just as detailed. Reverting back to jpg for now. NOTE :--- Later on tried converting all the RAW images to 16bit tiffs before processing with PIPP to center and crop and the colour issue disappeared but the resulting image was no better than taking jpg's straight from the camera in the first place and much less processing time too :-)
