As observed from Washington DC on 11/4/2025 at about 9:00 pm ET, a full Beaver Supermoon image was obtained by stacking 10 minutes of AVI (i.e. RAW) video. The video was taken with a Seestar S50 telescope. Once the video was captured the telescope played no further role in the processing as set forth below.

The stacking of the RAW AVI frames was done with AutoStakkert! 4.0.11 (hereafter AS). The AS workflow is: (1) Open and go to Image stabilization and Quality estimator where various options are chosen; (2) Analyse and go to Reference frame, Stack options and Super resolution where appropriate options are chosen; (3) Stack.

For Image stabilization, the parameters used were Surface, Improved tracking and Crop. For Quality estimator, Automatic was selected. For Reference frame, Double stack reference was used. After initiating Analyse the top 58% in quality of the frames was selected for stacking. Next, various choices of alignment point size and brightness were evaluated to determine which combination gave an optimal coverage of alignment points on the reference lunar frame surface. The choices made here would ultimately impact on the quality of the stacked output. In the present case, alignment point size and brightness were chosen to be 144 and 50, respectively, which resulted in 113 alignment points which fully covered the lunar surface. Lastly, after checking Replace and Multi-scale options, the chosen percentage of frames was stacked to get a TIF output image.

The TIF output image was cropped to a square aspect in Lightroom Classic. After masking, the highlights and shadows in the background sky were reduced by setting the respective sliders to -50 each. For the lunar subject, a tonal adjustment was made by setting the sliders for exposure, highlights, whites and blacks to 0.15, 8, 16 and -12, respectively; a color adjustment was made by moving the temperature and tint sliders to -20 and -19, respectively; and lastly effects were introduced by sliding the clarity, dehaze and grain values to 8, 8 and 10, respectively.

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.....

One of the more prominent impact craters on the Moon, Copernicus is a younger feature. It is estimated to be from an impact about one billion years ago. The crater is 93 km in diameter and reaches depths of 3.7 km. The Sun is shining on it low in the east during this imaging session.

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.
