The large escarpment running across the image is Rupes Altai. It is about 427km long and at its northern end it reaches a height of nearly 1km. The crater at the southern end of Rupes Altai is Piccolomini. The large crater to the upper right of it is Catharina.

My first record of sunspots. This image contains sunspot 2783.
"Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. Sunspots usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity. Their number varies according to the approximately 11-year solar cycle". Source: Wikipedia.org

My first record of sunspots. I inserted an identification chart (adapted from NASA's SOHO website) with the approximate size of the Earth and Jupiter in proportion to the Sun (and its spots). This image contains, from left to right, sunspots 2786 and 2785.

Saturn, the 6th planet, just before opposition. Long and short exposures were blended to create a composite image. On this rare occasion, the eight brightest moons of Saturn appeared close to the planet.
I don't think anyone else has ever captured eight moons with such modest equipment (80mm refractor and a DSLR). Clockwise from the upper-left: Iapetus, Rhea, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas, Dione, Hyperion, and Titan.
Mimas is difficult to image because it orbits Saturn closely and it is very dim (13th magnitude). Capturing this moon (and the other six) was my main goal for this image. I didn't even think about capturing Hyperion because of how dim it is (between 14th and 15th magnitude).
I only realized during post-processing that my field of view was large enough to include Hyperion. I found an extremely faint smudge towards the bottom right of Titan, but I brushed it off as a hot pixel artifact since its position did not match the data from Stellarium.
After reading posts about similar endeavors on CloudyNights, I found NASA's extremely accurate tool for planetary systems (pds-rings.seti.org/tools). I quickly discovered that Stellarium was significantly inaccurate. I then compared my image with the new data, and the real position of Hyperion matched up perfectly with the smudge in my image. Victory at last!

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!

Our star today captured with an 80mm APO Refractor at F/50. Daystar Quark Chromosphere and ASI290MM. Sharpcap has been used for the capture, then Autostakkert, ImPPG and PS for the post-processing. Active regions 2778 and 2779 are now very near the limb. Some nice prominences are visible as well.
Taken with an ED100 Refractor and Canon 500D, best 15 of 30 jpg's stacked in Autostakkert, no further processing apart from cropping.
Captured through hazy conditions and thick atmosphere. Unsatisfied with the results which degraded quite rapidly through the night.

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.

I hadn't tried using the 16-bit mode on the ZWO ASI120MM to shoot the Moon before, so I figured I'd see what I could get. This is a few hours past when the X and V are prominent, but there is a nice crater rim poking up into sunlight at the south edge of the terminator.
