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".

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.....

A time-accurate composite image from 2 consecutive 30-second video captures required to create this image, over the course of approximately 1 minute. A separate acquisition for Saturn's brightness for the moon's brightness is required, as their apparent exposure requirements are very different. While it CAN be captured a single acquisition, rather, by adjusting the gamma level of the imaging camera (boosting it...), a better quality image can often be obtained by properly exposing for each target.
Post-processed using Autostakkert!3, PixInsight, and combined in Photoshop. After stacking and processing was done, the moon and Saturn were then recombined into one final image.
Using a monochrome camera, it takes time to capture different exposures. As time elapses, in the apparent close quarters where two objects are moving independently in space, they must be treated separately and recombined in post, requiring a composite image.
We all hate composite images. But, when they are created with transparency and ethics, that’s what we as astrophotographers need to do. We must remain ethical and accurate at all times.

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 :)

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!
This wide view of our Moon’s landscape spans the region from 37° North to the lunar North Pole. It is full of visually and geologically interesting features. Let’s take a tour…
Let’s start with the crater at lower right, with the distinct outer rampart, the lava-filled crater floor, and two craters entirely enclosed within the crater floor. This is Cassini crater. The larger of the two craters inside the main basin is Cassini A. Notice that the Cassini A crater has a heart shape in this lighting (Andrew Planck describes it as a tear drop). Also note the relatively bright patch in the mountains above Cassini. This is a feature known as Cassini K. A meteor impact here dug a 3.47 km wide crater here (not resolved in this photo), and the light material is likely the subsurface material excavated and ejected by the impact. It must be relatively recent, as it has not had time to be weathered and darkened by long exposure to solar radiation.
The arc of mountains above Cassini are the Montes Alpes. These mountains are part of the outer basin ring surrounding Mare Imbrium, the vast lava plain filling the lower center and left of this photo. The mountains disappear in the darkness at the lunar terminator, just beyond the large circular walled plain of Plato crater. A keen eye might detect three or four craterlets in Plato’s interior. Less acuity is needed to detect the meandering crack extending from Plato’s eastern rim, Rimae Plato, running eastward and northward into a second lava sea known as Mare Frigoris which marks the outer limits of the Montes Alpes. To the east of Plato Crater a broad slash can be seen cutting through the Montes Alpes. This is the Alpine Valley, a graben feature, or “stretch mark” in the Moon’s crust, a place where the Moon’s surface stretched apart, and the ground surface fell into the resultant gap. Another close look reveals another thin crack running the length of the Alpine Valley. Detecting this crack and the craterlets in Plato are the two of the aspects of this photo which please me. Not that they are great achievements in imaging, but they are like trophies for me.
To the left of Cassini Crater a lonely mountain rises 2.3 kilometers above the floor of Mare Imbrium. This is Mons Piton. It may be part of a mostly buried inner ring of mountains surrounding the Imbrium Basin. Other isolated peaks and the larger mountain complexes below Plato (the Montes Teneriffe) also seem to be part of this inner ring. Below Mons Piton, near the bottom of the image right of center is an oddly shaped hill. Once, this feature was called Piton Gamma (not very interesting, that), but the name was dropped from the official lunar nomenclature in 1973 and now the feature is officially nameless. Recently the lunar and astrophotographer Robert Reeves has championed the unofficial designation “Thor’s Hammer”. Even the quickest of looks will convince a viewer of the aptness of this name.
Returning to the North, consider Mare Frigoris. This long, narrow lunar sea spans most of the northern portion of the visible face of the Moon. That makes it sort of an oddball among the great lunar seas. The others appear roughly circular and fill basins on the Moon. Current thought regards Mare Frigoris as a relic of a great fissuring episode in the history of the Moon’s nearside crust. Staggering volumes of lava flowed from these rifts covering much of the nearside face of the Moon, creating not only Mare Frigoris, but also the vast Oceanus Procellarum.
North of Mare Frigoris, above Plato crater, is an irregular ring of hills. Its western extent touches the lunar terminator. It encloses a jumbled and block-strewn basin that is barely distinguishable among the myriad craters of the lunar north. As an Alabamian, this crater stands out to me for its name: this is Birmingham. East of Birmingham a larger diamond-shaped plain is seen. This is W. Bond crater. The crater sitting astride its southwestern face is Timaeus, and the smaller crater within the eastern point of the diamond is W.Bond B. Crossing the center of the diamond roughly horizontally is a hairline crack marking an officially unnamed rille, otherwise widely known as Rima W.Bond. Imaging this is another of the small personal “woo-hoo!”s of this photograph.
Above W. Bond lies a mid-sized walled-plain crater known as Barrow crater. Barrow Crater abuts on its northeastern side the larger multi-lobed lava plain called Meton (it always resembles a clover to me). On its northwestern side Barrow touches another large lava plain called Goldschmidt. Note the impressive shadows cast by the higher portions of Goldschmidt’s eastern rim. Goldschmidt’s western rim has been destroyed by a younger crater; this one has a well-defined rampart on its eastern side which intrudes onto Goldschmidt’s basin, and its high western rampart peaks brightly reflect the light of the rising sun. This is Anaxagoras crater, one of the most recent generation of lunar craters. It retains a system of bright rays. These rays are best seen when the Sun strikes the Moon more directly, but they are evident in this photo as the lighter streaks of material sprayed across Meton, Barrow and W. Bond craters.
Lastly, we skip to the top of the Moon, to the point where the illuminated limb of the Moon meets the lunar terminator. Here lunar features are very difficult to sort out due to extreme foreshortening effects. Broad round craters are visible only as thin ovals. The very topmost trace of illuminated ridges seen here are actually high points of features from the far side of the Moon. They are seen because the Moon, on day this photo was taken, was leaning with its North Pole slightly towards the Earth. In that uppermost corner of the Moon, one of those long thin ellipses can be seen emerging from the dark beyond the terminator and extending eastward, its northernmost rim illuminated just inside those high points from the other side. This ellipse is the crater Peary. Its interior is almost constantly hidden from the light of the Sun. Over its northernmost rim, just below the point where the Moon’s northern limb touches the lunar terminator, lies the Moon’s North Pole. It is amidst the perpetually gloomy voids carved into this polar region, like similar regions at the Moon’s South Pole, that humankind dreams of establishing a permanent base. NASA, like the space programs of other countries, has begun recruiting the class of astronauts that will be tasked with this remarkable feat of exploration. Within our lifetimes. Within this decade.

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 :-)

High-resolution imagery of lunar details around five prominent craters in the Southern Highlands region.
What I want an observer to see in this image is the multitude of tiny craterlets and other small features scattered throughout the image. I have not yet measured the smallest of them, but it is likely that they range down in size to less than 2 km diameter.
I have never achieved this kind of detail in my imaging before. I am trying to find ways to best display these features without overprocessing the data. Anyone with advice, please comment or send a flickrmail.

The lighting over Mare Tranquillitatis in this image is a very good representation of how the area would have looked as Armstrong and Aldrin were on final approach for their landing on 1969-07-20 2018 UT. The altitude of the Sun over this region would have matched what it was for the crew of Apollo 11 at that time, to within a degree or so. This image was taken 618 lunar months after the first successful landing of humans on the Moon. The craters named after Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins are just resolved in this image.
