Note: Don't forget to take a look at the original size image, the mosaic is over 5000px in size!
After taking some Saturn images, I decided to try a moon mosaic with the C8 + ASI120MC at prime focus. I got lucky because I forgot to change tracking to lunar rate, and I was able to capture 44 videos without leaving any gaps! The seeing held up quite good over the time I captured all of the videos.
Each video was 30s @ 30fps. Best 80% of frames were stacked in Autostakkert!2. Each stacked image was then stitched together with Microsoft ICE. Deconvolution, color and contrast adjustments were done in Photoshop.
Processed slightly differently.

Today's active solar regions. Best 450 of 500 frames captured this morning using Skywatcher 120ED Esprit on AVX mount, homemade Baader solar filter hat, Orion SSAG in Planetary mode. Stacked in Autostakkert! which appears to work very well for solar closeups. This has to be the most spots I've seen in one (relatively) small area since solar viewing, still can't reduce the disc size down even with the T2 female adaptor on and a 0.8 reducer in the focal train, but quite chuffed with the clarity of this one. Focus must have been spot on for once! For the whole disc think I would have to put a mosaic together using the SSAG. Final processing in CS6.
Every time I put my solar viewing setup together now I feel more confident with the equipment each time.
Thanks for looking!

Seeing was average. The South Polar Ice-cap (composed of water ice & dry ice) shows up very nicely, but has shrunk since mid July. The dark patches includes (I think) Mare Sirenum to the SW, Mare Erythracum to the SE, & possibly Olympus Mons to the far NW, according to Sky & Telescope, Mars Profiler.
Mars is getting closer to Earth & will be in opposition at 2320 utc on October 13, 2020.

Ocultação de Marte do dia 05/08/2020! Passe para frente!
A primeira foto, a aproximação do planeta vermelho da Lua, claro, de forma aparente apenas para quem observa da terra.
A segunda foto, Marte já bem próxima da Lua. Neste momento, devido ao forte brilho da Lua, já não era mais possível observá-la a olho nu.
A terceira foto na verdade é um Gif, com imagens de trechos do planeta até que ele estivesse totalmente oculto pela Lua.
A quarta, é o vídeo acelerado do momento exato que capturei da ocultação do planeta vermelho.
Todas as fotos foram feitas com Sky-watcher 200p e Canon T7. A primeira foi foco direto, as outras capturas foram em projeção ocular 4mm.

Broadstairs, May 2019.
Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, almost 2 months after its 2023 opposition. This time-lapse animation shows 1 hour of motion. The Great Red Spot (GRS) is visible moving towards the east. This is the largest storm in the Solar System, although it has been shrinking in recent history. Even in its "smaller" state, the GRS is still roughly the size of Earth.
Jupiter rotates about its axis every 10 hours, making it the fastest-rotating planet in the Solar System. As a result, it is noticeably wider at the equator. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, which creates turbulence and storms along the boundaries.

A significant observatory upgrade now allows Loowit Imaging to capture the sun through a broader emission spectrum. This is the sun through a Meade/Coronado hydrogen alpha scope, which filters out all but the hydrogen alpha emission lines. The image produces a deep pinkish-red image, which has to be muted in post-processing.
A combined stack of 5,000 frames, converted to AVI from MOV in Autostakkert!3 (then stacked, best 65%).

Taken from Oxfordshire on 1st May 2023 with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ZWO ASI120MC camera fitted with a Powermate 5x Barlow.
The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier, tracking at lunar rate. It was still twilight when I started imaging and I was also dealing with varying amounts of thin cloud. The Moon was 85% Waxing Gibbous. Crater J. Herschel is actually circular - it only appears oval because it's located towards the edge of the Moon as viewed from Earth.
A 2,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap and the best 25% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3. Processing was done in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer, plus a bit of sharpening in Focus Magic.
Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.1-class solar flare from sunspot AR3217 on Feb. 11th @ 1548 UTC. (upper right). These images were taken a few hours after the event.
Although this X1-class solar flare attracted all the attention, it did not produce a CME (coronal mass ejection). Five hours before the X-flare, a filament of magnetism erupted from the sun's northern hemisphere and hurled a CME into space. This produced the G1 aurora show last night (2023-02-14)
Three versions of the same image each provide different views of the solar surface. Black and white (native), inverted black and white, and false colour.

Saturdays' Sun was rather visually boring, hence the title :)
Bright rim aside - it's a deconvolution artifact - this is how the Sun looks like if observed visually through Hα interference filtering telescope.
