Maurolycus crater is 70.8 miles (114km) in diameter and 2.9 miles (4.7km) deep. It is one of the more prominent lunar craters in the southern highland region that is shows multiple overlapping crater impacts. Just to the southeast is a pair of overlapping craters, that appears to me at first glance as a giant footprint, are Barocius and Barocius B (the heel).
The outer walls of Maurolycus are tall, wide, and terraced, most notably in the eastern part. To the southeast the rim is lower and the crater is joined to what has the appearance of an overlain crater rim. Craters Maurolycus F and Maurolycus B lie across the northwest rim. The northwestern part of the crater floor is more rugged than the remainder. The other sections of the floor are relatively level, with a complex of central peaks and a pair of craterlets. The small crater Maurolycus A sets right on the southern part of the rim.

While developing a recent full-disc image of the waning gibbous moon, I noticed that I'd coincidentally taken a similar image earlier this year, but with almost exactly the opposite phase (i.e, waxing gibbous). So I decided to combine them both into a single image, which almost looks like it is mirrored at first glance. But it's just the curve of the lunar day-night transition that's almost exactly opposite. The many craters and Maria are almost in the same positions - but not quite! Since the moon is on an elliptical orbit around earth, and in addition its rotational axis is slightly tilted with respect to its orbit, we are seeing it under slightly different angles over the course of one moon-month. Still, on average the moon always shows us the same side since its rotation period matches the orbital period in a bound rotation.
In addition, you can see interesting variations in contrast and surface colour between the two images. Some of them, particularly the strength and direction of shadows, are due to the different illumination. The colouring, which basically originates from different mineral compositions of lunar surfaces, may partly also be due to lighting conditions, but also due to using two different instruments with nearly the same focal length. I tried but couldn't quite digitally match the colour rendering of every part of the two images.
In the left-hand image taken on 2024-09-21, a 120/900 mm ED apochromatic refractor was used. For the right-hand image taken on 2024-06-18, a 100/1000 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain vintage telephoto lens was used.
For both images, I acquired 4k mp4 videos with a Canon M50 Mk.II DSLM camera, and stacked the 20% respectively 25% best frames.
Both images were taken from the exact same location at the Volkssternwarte München, piggybacked onto the mount of one of the larger telescopes there.
Stacking was done using Autostakkert!, sharpening was performed using fitswork, processing of the individual images in Luminar 2018. Finally, both images were scaled to the same size and mounted side-by-side using Photoshop, along with some minor tilt and color/brightness adjustments.
4K MP4s processed with PIPP and AutoStakkert then merged with Phot0Shop.

The waning gibbous Moon early Christmas eve. Taken in Austin, Texas, on 2018-12-24 04:54 UT. The same data was used for my earlier crop of the eastern limb of the Moon. Questar 1350/89 mm telescope and Sony a6300 camera at prime focus and exposed for 1/50 sec at ISO 100 f/15.

Saturn on the night of August 6th. Saturn reached opposition on July 20th this year (less than a week after Jupiter). A total of 5,671 frames from 3 videos shot at a gain setting of 80% and at an exposure of 0.058343 seconds were used to make this composite image. Saturn's moons were brought out by processing all the video frames and blending the stacked result with the first processing. The moons you can see are Titan (bottom left), Rhea (centre left) and Dione (centre right). The final picture was resampled to make it larger while maintaining image quality as much as possible.

Been a while since I've shot the ISS, and this is my first decent non-transit photo of it in years! Lucked out with clear skies, [an 83 degree pass](i.imgur.com/zZTD2KZ.png), and average seeing according to astrospheric. I captured 10,000 frames of raw video which filled out ~20GB of space. Thanks to my hand tracking 1[10 of the 10,208 frames contained the ISS](i.imgur.com/129xyrA.gifv), and I ultimately used a passthrough of 30 consecutive frames for stacking the final image (seen at the end of the gif). [For those curious these are the vehicles docked to the ISS at the time of the photo](i.imgur.com/xDrP9D0.png). I think for future flyovers I'll up the exposure a little, and try to better focus and work out some astigmatism in the mirror that I've noticed previously. Captured on January 18th, 2022 from my bortle 6 driveway.

Venus during the day
(73.6% illuminated)
My first attempt at recording (in daylight and with the current telescope) of Venus (a planet whose recording from Earth is challenging). Unfortunately, my field of vision is quite limited (due to the presence of tall buildings around where I live). As a result, when night falls, Venus is no longer visible to me. So I tried to register it in a late afternoon and, luckily, it seemed feasible. I ordered new filters (infrared and violet), which, in the next opportunity, will help to improve the records of this planet.
"Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and is perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing an uncontrolled greenhouse effect. It's the hottest planet in our solar system, though Mercury is hotter. near the sun. Surface temperatures on Venus are about 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) - hot enough to melt lead. Venus has crushing air pressure on its surface - more than 90 times that of Earth - similar to the pressure you would find a mile below the ocean on Earth."

Take a close look at this image, can you find the ghost crater? That is Copernicus on the left, Eratosthenes to the upper right, now look between them and down, that dim circle is the crater Stadius. Stadius is a remnant of an ancient crater that has been filled in with lava flows. Stadius is about 69km wide and was named after Johannes Stadius or Estadius (ca. 1 May 1527 – 17 June 1579), who was a Flemish astronomer, astrologer, and mathematician.

Saturn
The lord of the rings on a night with less unfavorable seeing than usual around here.
"Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. Adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the planets. It is not the only planet to have rings – made of chunks of ice and rock – but none are as spectacular or as complicated as Saturn's. Like fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium".

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK at 5:10pm GMT on 17th January 2019. Taken through thin cloud with a William Optics 70mm refractor and Canon 1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount, tracking at lunar rate.
ISO-800 1/2500 second exposures. 231 images taken, converted into TIFFs, and the best 75% were stacked using Autostakkert! 2. Stacked image processed in Registax 6, Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer.
A longer exposure image was taken to capture Aldebaran and this was blended with the stacked Moon image using Photoshop CS2.
This close conjunction looked stunning through the eye piece, with very apparent colour differences between the two objects.
Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor with a Canon 600D at prime focus. Best 20 of 40 images stacked with Autostakkert 2. No filters used. Average seeing but most frames had light fast moving cloud in them which causes stacking problems due to the varying brightness of each frame. Registax 6 failed to achieve a clean stack due to this I think. Could have easily removed the tinges of false colour but liked it better this way . None of the single frames had any false colour whatsoever so putting this down to seeing and cloud. Going to check the ED80's focuser alignment tomorrow though all the same as haven't checked it for 3-4 years :-) The Lens cell is not collimatable on this scope.

Last night the seeing was quite nice. A bit breezy at times but nothing that cant be handled in a normal way. Large scopes are usually like sail boats but my 11 inch was OK. The air was rather dry so I did not have any dew to deal with. This is a 5000 frame on LUM and 3000 on each R, G and B.
