This portion of the lunar surface stretches from Copernicus on the left (southwest) to Eratosthenes and the southern end of Montes Appeninus (northeast) on the right. Just over 73% of the sunlit side of the Moon was facing the Earth at the time; it was 8.9 days past new. I wanted to show the change in illumination from near the terminator, where Copernicus was, to the mountains, which were in more direct sunlight. The total distance on the moon from the left to right edge of the image is about 540 km.
Images were taken with a Celestron Edge HD 9.25" scope and 3x Barlow using a Point Grey color CCD shooting at 50 fps. Seeing was good, but transparency average to poor; humidity was above 90%. AVIs were 600 frames in length, and the best 150 frames were stacked in AutoStakkert. Initial wavelet processing was done in PixInsight, and images were mosaiced with Microsoft ICE. A few final touches were done in PS CS 5.1

Taken with Imaging Source DFK21AU618 camera. Best 2000 shots selected by PIPP, stacked with Autostakkert and sharpened with PSE 12.
Taken with a Canon 600D using a Canon F4 IS L 70-200mm Zoom Lens. 20 images stacked using Autostakkert 2. Image cropped heavily and enlarged. Focused on moon with liveview and when confirmed turned autofocus off, took 20 jpg's in burst mode for 4-5 seconds. Images then processed in PIPP to automatically centre and crop the moon to a 2000x1800 pixel image. Used Autostakkert in 'surface' mode to stack images as cloud and blue sky present in all images. Camera settings were F5.6 ISO100 500th second exposure Lens at 200mm.
Used my C9.25 @ f/10 and ZWO ASI462MC colour camera to capture 116 SER files of 250 frames each to create this mosaic of the full Moon. All files eventually stacked in Autostakkert 3,mosaic stitched using Microsoft ICE and processed in Astrosurface and PS CS2.
1000 frame SER for the prominence and a 500 frame SER for the limb recorded in IC capture with a DMK21au using my 6" f/8 with Lunt 50THa etalon. Stacked in Autostakkert,the two images combined using layers in Photoshop,sharpened in ImPPG returning to Photoshop to finish processing and false colouring. North is toward top right hand corner of image.

From crater Theophilus (100km diameter) below to crater Langrenus above.
Blue is titanium rich lava, red is Iron rich.
Below Langrenus is the Mare Fecunditatus, To the right of Theophilus is the Mare Nectaris, to the left is the Mare Serenitatis.
Assuming the Moon has a diameter of 3475km = 30 arcminutes, Theophilus is approximately 52 arcseconds across.

Mars at 21:11 UT, 22/10/2020. Good seeing conditions at times tonight. 10 minutes worth of data, the result of merging 4 files in Winjupos, each the best 4,000 of 20,000 frames, resized 150%. Captured using Firecapture V2.5. Processed using Autostakkert V 3.1.4 , Registax V6 and Winjupos. Equipment used, Celestron C14 Edge HD, CGEPRO Mount, ZWO ASI224MC camera and Carl Zeiss 2 X Barlow. Reprocessed using smaller AP's (48 size) in Autostakkert for a sharper image.
Finally stayed up late enough to capture my first Saturn of the Season. It's currently 1.3 billion km from Earth, and most notable, its rings are nearly edge on. Approximately every 15 years, Saturn's rings are presented edgewise as the Earth and the Sun pass through the plane of the rings. In the planet's 29.4 year orbit, we first see one face of the rings and then 15 years later the other, after passing through the plane of the rings. They'll be perfectly edge on in March of next year (2025).

It was my late father who got me into astronomy with the Moon being one of his favourites. I vividly remember his pointing this out when showing me.
I've not really got into closeup Moon photography before so abit of a first for me. My sister and brother came to visit and stayed in their camper van. My brother in law Nick is interested in taking up the hobby at some point so we set up the equipment. When the Moon is so full you have to take pictures of the Moon.
I'm not sure I sold it very well because there was a lot of faffing about. I've not done it for a while, it was cold, I was using my rubbish laptop and the seeing was terrible.
Anyway, we managed to get some pic's and in the end it wasn't too bad.

Aufgenommen um 22.40 MESZ mit einem VC200L bei 1800x2mm Brennweite und einer ZWO ASI120MC-S CMOS Kamera. 3 Minuten Film bei 7ms Belichtungszeit, bearbeitet mit Autostakkert, Giotto und Lightroom. Der Planet ist etwa halb so groß wie de Erde und befand sich 2 Wochen vor Opposition in 0.42 AE Entfernung von der Erde (62442693 km). Der scheinbare Durchmesser am Himmel war 22.4''. Die kleinsten sichtbare Strukturen von ca. 1'' entsprechen somit ca. 300km. Ganz unten im Bild ist die sehr kleine südliche Eispolkappe zu sehen. Die Oberflächenstruktur ist rötlich gefärbt aufgrund des Eisenoxid-Staub. Ein paar Dunstschleier sind im Norden (oben) und am Planetenrand zu erkennen.

Opposition for Jupiter will fall on September 26, 2022 so there is about another month of the planet appearing bigger and brighter - but it's already looking very nice. This image is a composite of two stacked shots - one exposed for the planet and another for the three visible Galilean moons.

Each image is the best 15% of 4,000 frames stacked in Autostakkert, WinJUPOS, Registax 6 for wavelets, Photoshop CC 2015 for final touches. My understanding is that some artifacts in the image are the result of average seeing conditions and come from the de-rotation segment or processing.

Lunar south is uppermost.
It displays an interesting libration with the crater Clavius close to the southern limb and the crater Plato further from the northern limb.
It is worth comparing this image with the 20d 17h Waning Gibbous Lunar phase taken on 2023-09-06 in my Lunar Phases album. It displays how much our moon appears to wobble in its path around the Earth.

Theophilus Crater – diameter is 100 km and named after the Greek astronomer (c. 412 AD). The rim of Theophilus has a wide, terraced inner surface that shows indications of landslips. The floor of the crater is relatively flat, and it has a large, triple-peaked central crater that climbs to a height of about 2 kilometers above the floor (Wikipedia).
Tech Specs: ZWO ASI290MC camera and Meade 12” LX90 telescope mounted on a Celestron CGEM-DX mount. Software used included Sharpcap v2.9 and AutoStakkert! Alpha Version 2.3.0.21. Photographed on February 2, 2017 from Weatherly, Pennsylvania.

Since I’m getting very few clear nights to use my telescopes I’ve decided to start photographing during the day and here is a photo of the planet Venus that I took fully one hour and forty-five minutes prior to sundown.
Venus is currently in a waning crescent phase (5.1% illuminated) and will reach its inferior conjunction with the sun on August 15. On that day it will begin its transition from being the evening star to the morning star.
I used a Stellarvue SV80ST2 telescope working at an effective focal length of approximately 2400mm with a ZWO ASI174MM camera. An 807nm IR bandpass filter was used to darken the daytime sky which means that technically this is a monochrome, near infrared image of Venus.
The original capture consisted of 10,000 video frames and I used AutoStakkert! v2.3.021 to select and stack the best 10% of those to produce this final image that was then processed in Photoshop CC 2015.
