Tonight's perigee full Moon is the largest of 2018. It lies at only 356565 km (compared with about 400000 km average) and covers an angle across the sky of 33.51 arcminutes diameter compared with 30 arcminutes (half a degree) normally.
This is the best 50% of frames from a 5000 frame video recorded at 2.071ms exposure per frame.

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 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.

As the night sky refuses to cooperate, the extra sleep allows more effort on solar imaging.
NW limb of the sun taken yesterday. Decent seeing but the challenge is the sun is only at 28 degrees altitude. This means lots of atmosphere to image through. This is the best 180 frames out of 3,000 frames.

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.

This is a two-panel mosaic of today’s sun in white light, artificial color. From SpaceWeather.com “SUNSPOT NUMBERS AT A 20-YEAR HIGH: For the second month in a row, the monthly-average sunspot number is cruising toward a 20-year high. The current value, around 230, would eclipse every month since Sept. 2001, which occurred during the peak of old Solar Cycle 23. The current cycle (Solar Cycle 25) was not supposed to be this strong, and it may become even stronger before Solar Max is finished.

This video shows the evolution of crater shadows as the Sun rises over lunar Crater Maurolycus. Above Maurolycus you can also see sunrise over Gemma Frisius and Goodacre. To the lower left, you can see the rim of crater Licetus has become illuminated by the final image.
Images taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor, Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. The telescope was on an EQ5 tracking mount, tracking at lunar rate. The Moon was a 40% illuminated Waxing Crescent.
I took a 2,000 frame video of the crater using SharpCap Pro at 17:22, 18:42, 20:12 and 21:04 GMT which was shortly before I lost the Moon behind a tree. I stacked the best frames using Autostakkert! 3; depending on the video quality I stacked between 50 and 70% of the frames. The stacked images were processed in Lightroom and turned into a video using Movie Maker 10. The first image was taken before it got dark so it isn't as crisp as the other images in the set.
I love seeing how shadows evolve over time and each time I watch this I see something else interesting!

Meu primeiro teste com a câmera planetária ZWO ASI 290MC. Novamente, a atmosfera estava turbulenta, prejudicando o registro. Mas vale o exercício, buscando aprender e avançar nas próximas oportunidades. Em momento oportuno, vou precisar adquirir outro notebook (que possua USB 3.0 e mais recursos) para poder aproveitar melhor o potencial/velocidade desta câmera. Também vou precisar de um filtro UV/IR Cut (este já está a caminho). Estou ainda em faze de testes, buscando melhores formas de captar e processar imagens planetárias.

27% Waxing Crescent Moon. Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor with ASI120MC camera + Celestron 3x Barlow. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier.
2,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap, the best 30% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3 then processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The first video I shot was pretty clear but then thin cloud was moving across the Moon for the remainder of the imaging session.
This region shows the Theophilus crater trio on the left side, with Mare Nectaris to the right and beyond that, Mare Fecunditatis. I absolutely love this region of the lunar surface.
On Monday 22nd March 2021 at 20:08:53 GMT the International Space Station transited the 62% Waxing Gibbous Moon. Fortunately our back garden was just 0.3 km from the centre line so I was able to capture this despite the fact we're still in lockdown. There was a lot of thin cloud around so conditions were tricky!
Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera. A 1,340 frame video was captured using SharpCap, then the individual frames were extracted using PIPP. The 27 frames that contained the ISS were then stacked using StarStaX in Lighten mode. The stacked image was processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. I then did a stack of the best 50% of the video frames using Autostakkert! 3 to give me a better result on the Moon. Once I'd processed that, I blended the stacked image with the ISS frames. This image is a crop showing the six frames where the ISS looked like it was flying over Copernicus!
This is only the second time I've imaged an ISS transit where the ISS was illuminated. It makes it much easier to see when it's about the cross the Moon!
