At the point where the X and V were becoming brighter and more pronounced, a big bank of cloud put an end to my imaging run. I had so many technical issues go wrong on me whilst shooting this so I'm pleased to have managed to get anything at all!

This is a 2 panel mosaic of a section of the 64.2% phase at 9:49 p.m. Archimedes just coming out of the terminator on the left, Aristillus and Autolycus with their rims fully illuminated but still filled with cold darkness. Cassini nicely illuminated and Aristoteles and Eudoxus bathing in the blasting lunar heat. Portions of Mare Imbrium, Mare Frigoris and Mare Serenitatis in the FOV, and the unmistakable rim of Imbrium consisting of Montes Apenninus, Montes Caucasus and Montes Alpes with their higher altitude features brightly illuminated and casting distant shadows. Even looks like the Apollo 15 site surrounded by a perfectly timed shadow.
Each panel is the best 25% of 4,000 captured frames with Autostakkert, Some wavelets applied with Registax 6, cropped, fine tuned and hand-assembled in Photoshop CC 2015.
Two bright ISS passes captured with Mak 127/1500mm scope - hand-guided.
Was able to align red dot finder and focus scope on nearly full Moon and Jupiter before I started.
I can identify the solar panels, 1 bright radiator panel and at the far end of the "body" of the station is the Zvezda service module.
There are 3 dots in a row under the body of the station - Im not sure what those are - I know that currently, an Orbital ATK enhanced Cygnus cargo module (CRS 9, 6.3 m long) is docked to the Harmony module - about half way along the "body". Cygnus has a central cylindrical body and 2 round solar panels but Im not certain if thats it!

This is my first attempt at imaging Jupiter. I learned A LOT about capture and processing. I'm pretty happy with this result for a first try, though.
Montes Apenninus enters the frame just below center left and swoops upward and rightward toward upper left of the frame. Nestled among the center of this range is the Apollo 15 landing site.
The range is surrounded by dark mare. Dominating the left is Mare Serenitatis. Bottom center is Mare Vaporum. In the lower left corner is Sinus Aestuum. And upper right is Mare Imbrium.
Crater Eratosthenes terminates the left end of the range, and nearby Crater Copernicus' ejecta rays come in from the lower left edge.
The trio of prominent craters at top center, from largest to smallest, are Archimedes, Aristillus, and Autolycus.

This lunar image is about at good as its going to get for my location for two reasons. First is because of weather conditions, and second is because of the extremely fortunate timing of the Moon reaching its First Quarter phase at the vernal equinox.
My location is in central Maryland, where clear skies are rare, and clear skies with good seeing are even rarer. This image was taken on an exceptional March evening when the sky was crystal clear and the seeing was the best that I have seen here in a very long time.
In addition to having a great sky for imaging, the Moon was exceptionally well-placed for my location of 39.14N latitude. I captured this image just twelve minutes after the First Quarter Moon had transited the meridian at N25 degrees declination. This declination is about 14 degrees south of my zenith. At this high elevation above the horizon and with my observing site being 151 meters above mean sea level, the Moon's light passed through just 1.035 air masses.
The geometry of the celestial sphere that created this high-elevation transit is fascinating, and worth exploring.
The trace of the Sun's annual orbit among the fixed stars defines the ecliptic. The Moon’s orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by about 5.14 degrees, so it never wanders more than 5.14 angular degrees from it.
The reason for high-elevation lunar transit on the day of this image has to do with both the Sun’s and the Moon’s position on or relative to the ecliptic, and the Moon's position relative to the Sun. The Sun had arrived at the vernal equinox point on the ecliptic on this day, thus marking the first day of astronomical spring. In a quarter of a year from now, the Sun will have moved one quarter of the way around the ecliptic to arrive at the summer solstice point. This will be the day that the Sun passes overhead at its highest elevation each year.
The Moon, which is always situated near the ecliptic, was at First Quarter on this same day. This means that the Moon is one quarter of the way around it’s monthly orbit about the Earth since it was positioned in conjunction with the Sun just a week prior. This quarter orbit of distance from the sun put the Moon near the Sun’s summer solstice point on the ecliptic, which means the Moon was near its highest point of the year when it transits the meridian on this night.
This image is centered on the prominent crater Agrippa, which is located in the central lunar highlands between Mare Tranquilitatus to the East, and Sinus Medii to the west. Also present in this image are three extensive rille systems that stand out under the low Sun angle: Rima Ariadaeus to the north, Rima Hyginus to the northwest, and the extenisve Rimae Triesnecker to the west. Additional rilles can be found by zooming in and panning around.

It's sunset on the Sea of Crises.
That has a nice ring to it after 2020, doesn't it?
Mare Crisium is the exceptionally round looking "sea" that is along the edge of the Moon facing the western horizon in our skies, so it's the easternmost sea that is easily discernible on the Moon. The bright crater that you see below it here is Proclus. Some of the crater Cleomedies is visible at the far left, and Macrobius and Tisserand are the larger and smaller crater in the lower left corner.
The Moon was 17.6 days past new during this photo sequence, taken around 0830 UT on 2021-03-01. This is a mosaic of multiple panels. Individual panels were shot as .SER files with a Celestron Edge HD with 3x Barlow and a ZWO ASI120MM camera with green filter. The best 60 of 200 frames were averaged in AutoStakkert. After some processing in PixInsight, the panels were composited in Image Composite Editor. A few more tweaks in PixInsight and final touches in Photoshop brings you this image.
The total distance shown here, left (north) to right (south) is about 560 km, or roughly the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Here is an image I took from March 24, 2017 distilled from a video and processed in Registax. It is the first time I have been able to identify the feature referred to as Oval BA, also known as Red Spot Jr. The image on the right was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on April 3, 2017 for comparison, you can more clearly see this cloud feature in the HST image.
From NASA, “Oval BA first appeared in the year 2000 when three smaller spots collided and merged. Using Hubble and other telescopes, astronomers watched with great interest. A similar merger centuries ago may have created the original Great Red Spot, a storm twice as wide as our planet and at least 300 years old.” (Source: science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/02mar_...)
I look forward to continue learning planetary image processing and collecting additional video streams.

Pretty good conditions, but still not my best image. But you can see the large bright feature hellas planitia in the south, sitting below the dark volcanic region Syrtis Major Planum (the large dark vertical feature).
From wikipedia: "Syrtis Major was the first documented surface feature of another planet. It was discovered by Christiaan Huygens, who included it in a drawing of Mars in 1659. He used repeated observations of the feature to estimate the length of day on Mars."
