Some lunar features. With the waxing gibbous Moon this close to full (about 93%) it's difficult to image much else so this was a good opportunity to test some of the video capabilities of the ZWO ASI1600 MC Pro camera and also to practice imaging the Moon in such a way that the images may in future have some scientific value (mainly by recording as much information as possible about location, conditions, settings and equipment). But for now here is the first of several processed images. This is an area of the north west of the Moon as seen in the northern hemisphere. The large craters are (from the lower left to upper right) Crater Pythagoras (with Crater Babbage in front), Crater Anaximander (the worn and eroded one), Crater Carpenter, Crater Anaximenes, and part of Crater Philolaus. In the centre of the image is Crater Herschel bordering Mare Frigoris.

Lunar Landing Sites in the Region of the Taurus Mountains and Mare Serenitatis
This photo, which spans a region roughly 980 mi. by 460 mi., shows a portion of the Moon between Julius Caesar Crater (bottom center) and the pair, Hercules and Atlas Craters at upper left. The sweep of the images is from southwest at bottom to northeast at top. The shadowed day-night terminator is in the lower left near Julius Caesar, while the upper portions are fully illuminated. The upper portions are heavily cratered and mountainous, making them highly reflective, whereas the lower portions are smoother and covered by darker lava flows.
The lower right is filled with the dark lava plain Mare Tranquillitatis. Near the center, Mare Tranquillitatis joins with Mare Serenitatis. The strait separating these two lunar “seas” is marked on the left by a point of mountainous terrain known as Promontorium Archerusia, an extension of the Montes Haemus, and on the right by the Taurus Mountains. Between these two areas of high ground can be found the crater Plinius. Take note of the different shades of the mare material between Mare Tranquillitatis and Mare Serenitatis, and within each of the maria themselves. These mark areas of lava flows having different ages and compositions.
At the upper right, opposite Hercules and Atlas craters is the similarly-sized Geminus Crater with its terraced walls and central peak. A pair of craters, Cepheus and Franklin, can be seen below the top center.
The arc of the Taurus Mountains marking the northern and eastern border of Mare Serenitatis has several noteworthy features, two of which are historic in nature. At the upper end of the arc, left of center is the large Posidonius Crater. At the center right, near the opposite side of the strait from Promontorium Archerusia is a mountainous area. Looking closely you might see a linear arrangement of three peaks, arranged horizontally in this photo, that look to me like Egyptian pyramids. Immediately above the second of these “pyramids” (actually 8,000’ tall mountains) is a small, four-mile-wide valley. This is the Taurus-Littrow Valley (RED PLUS MARK on the right image). This is where Man last walked on the Moon. The recently-deceased Eugene Cernan piloted the Challenger Landing Module into this rugged niche, this valley, deeper and narrower than the Grand Canyon. I look at this landing site and marvel at the courage and skill required to achieve this. Eugene Cernan was the last man on the Moon, an honor he sincerely wished to pass on to another before he died. This mission was also notable for the amount of scientific information gleaned regarding the age and formation of Mare Serenetatis and the ways in which later impact events a thousand miles away from the valley (the Imbrian event and the Tycho Crater impact) reshaped the landscape of the region. The geologist astronaut Harrison Schmitt was key to the scientific success of this mission.
Midway between Posidonius Crater and the Taurus-Littrow Valley is where the Soviet Union landed the Luna 21 unmanned spacecraft. This occurred in the horseshoe embayment of Mare Serenitatis into the Taurus Mountain arc known as Le Monnier crater (YELLOW PLUS MARK). The Luna 21 mission landed a little more than a month after Apollo 17. The Lunokhod 2 Rover deployed shortly after touchdown, and travelled the area of Le Monnier Crater until May 9, 1973. Its navigation about the lunar surface was aided by photos given to a lead Soviet engineer by an American scientist, photos obtained prior to the Apollo 17 landing.

Mare Imbrium is an impact basin that was flooded with lava after an asteroid struck the moon nearly 4 billion years ago. It is considered to be one of the largest impact craters in our solar system.
Surrounding the basin are several well known craters including Plato (near the top), Archimedes (mid-right side), and Eratosthenes (bottom center). Also shown on the right edge near Archimedes is the Hadley Rille, the landing location of the Apollo 15 moon mission.
This image was captured on July 13, 2016 using a Celestron 9.25” EdgeHD telescope and ZWO ASI178MM-Cool camera. Image processing was done with Autostakkert!, PixInsight, and Photoshop CC2015.

Been cloudy for a month (it's what I get for having the gumption to go to a dark site), but today the sun decided to shine on my balcony briefly for me to get this. My apartment faces north so I only have a brief 30 min window to capture the sun/moon when they're at high declinations and low in the west.

Taken from Oxfordshire on 1st May 2023 with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ZWO ASI120MC camera fitted with a Celestron 3x 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.
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.
Very challenging image, done for the very first time. Weather conditions were very far from ideal, clouds were rolling in and out all the time, during the whole project a big question mark was hanging above my head due to weather. Some clouds were covering Jupiter still when the actual pass happened, probably that is why ISS has a funny shape :)
This photo is a composite one. I was shooting an HD video, so first I used the individual frames where ISS was recorded just right next to Jupiter. Than processed Jupiter without ISS (Autostakkert, Registax). After that in GIMP I combined the two result photos ( ISS sequences and the processed Jupiter) and retouched with Lightroom.
Unfortunately none of the moons are visible (although they were lined up nicely on one side), but I really don't mind because failure was so so near - very happy as first attempt on ISS vs any planet :)
Also have to note that this was the real look of it, with processing I have tried my best to give back the real conditions as I saw it happening on my camera screen.

I wheeled out the telescope on July 19, 2016 to grab some videos of the planet Mars – I’m still learning the processing technique of planetary imaging. This image of Mars is the best 20% of 5,000 video stills (I used both RegiStax and AutoStakkert), not great, but you can make out some surface details. Starry Night Pro lists Mars as currently 89% illuminated.
Tech Specs: Canon 6D, Antares Focal Reducer, Televue 5x Powermate, Meade 12” LX90 telescope all mounted on a Celestron CGEM-DX mount.
On a side note – has anyone photographed the two moons of Mars using amateur equipment? I’ve tried on two occasions thus far with no luck.
The moon was nice and high [at the end of my imaging session](gfycat.com/madeverlastingindianpangolin) so I decided to point my DSO rig at it. Seeing was 'above average' according to Astrospheric. **This photo has had the saturation increased to emphasize the differences in the lunar soil**, which are *barely* noticeable to the eye through larger telescopes (for me at least). Tan/orange indicates iron rich minerals, and blue indicates titanium rich minerals. Captured at 6:20am on September 27th, 2021.

"Imbrium Ground Surges and Sculpture"
July 21, 2018
Since my teens I have been fascinated by the huge lunar impact basin known as Mare Imbrium. This is an easy naked-eye feature of the Moon. There was one afternoon when my reading of descriptions of lunar craters and meteor impacts built up to the realization that Mare Imbrium marked a truly titanic impact event, one that affected the entire side of the moon that we see.
This image captures in one wide field many far-flung (literally) changes in the lunar surface directly attributable to the enormous impact event that gouged the basin that became what we now know as Mare Imbrium.
Mare Imbrium is the huge circular lava plain located here in the upper left. It is surrounded by a ring of mountains, here represented by the Montes Appenninus. These mountains were raised by the impact event, as huge blocks of the Moon's crust were dislodged and lifted, like ripples in a pond. This ring of mountains is the first thing that slammed home for me the fact that Mare Imbrium marked a REALLY GINORMOUS impact basin.
Then I started looking outside the ring. Look at the upper right of this photo. There is another large lava plain - Mare Serenitatis. Formed in similar fashion to Mare Imbrium, Mare Serenitatis is older. We can see this because the Montes Appenninus adjoin and partly overlay the outer circular margin of Mare Serenitatis. Look at the lower boundary of Mare Serenitatis. The lava plains of it's basin abut a range of mountains, the Montes Haemus. The ridges in this region were originally a structure like the Montes Appenninus, but raised by the Serenitatis impact event. But look closer. These mountains are marked by radial gouges, centered on Mare Imbrium, and seem to me of having been scoured and partially buried by material that flowed out from Mare Imbrium. These radial gouges in the Moon are collectively known as "Imbrium sculpture".
Now look at the center of the photo. There is a small lava plain here called Sinus Medii. Using this as a reference, we can explore other regions scarred by the Imbrium event.
Directly south (down) from Sinus Medii there is a large circular crater with a smooth floor. It is the top crater in a prominent stack of three progressively smaller craters. The large crater is Ptolemaeus. The area surrounding Ptolemaeus is light colored and heavily cratered. It is pretty far from Mare Imbrium, but the terrain is gouged by more radial cuts, again centered on Mare Imbrium. Mountain-sized blocks were thrown outward from the Imbrium impact - they bounded across the surface of the Moon and cut through ridgelines and crater ramparts, scoring the Moon's face as they passed. How many can you find?
Looking North (upward) from Sinus Medii there is a funnel- shaped of region of hills, largely dark in color, that narrows to the north where it connects with the Montes Appenninus. There are some gouges and signs of scouring in this area, but it is the hills themselves that draw my interest. Nearest to Montes Appenninus these seem to be broken ridges of bedrock, roughly parallel to the arc of the Montes Appenninus with piles of rubble in between, material that flowed outward from the Imprium impact (ground surges). Farther away from the Montes Appenninus, the terrain looks more like piles of ejecta strewn in radial patterns that settled here to build hills and to deeply bury whatever features that existed here before the Imbrian event.
Lastly, look at the lower left side of the image. This area is dark, crossed by the lunar day-night terminator. Look into the darkness, west of Ptolemaeus, and you will see an area of hills very similar to those above Sinus Medii, described in the paragraph above. You may also see a medium sized circular crater with two smaller adjoining craters at the 6 o'clock and the 5 o'clock positions. the larger crater is called Fra Mauro. In the 1960's scientists suspected this was a region where material ejected from Mare Imbrium would be covering the surface. Apollo 13 was designated to land here and collect samples, but the accident en route to the Moon forced abandonment of this mission. Apollo 14 was retasked to land in this area, and did so successfully. Samples were confirmed to have been of Imbrian origin. The landing site was in the hilly terrain north of Fra Mauro crater, 500 km south of the edge of Mare Imbrium.
