Probably one of the most frequently photographed regions of the moon here captured just past daybreak (on the moon) for the impact crater Copernicus. In addition to the craterlet chains between Copernicus and the crater Eratosthenes take note of how the outer rim of Copernicus (nearest the terminator, to the left) is defined by both deep shadow and half light.

This past week the phases of the moon seemed almost perfectly timed to photograph some of my favorite lunar features. I also captured the following image of the craters Tycho and Clavius on this same evening:

1.03.2022: CLAVIUS, MORETUS - Luna Crescente
Dopo non so quanti mesi, finalmente è capitata una serata di Seeing decente ed ho potuto apprezzare la qualità del Meade 16" che mi ha dato veramente la possibilità di "sorvolare" questa zona del Polo Sud Lunare.
Clavius (in basso a dx) è ancora in parte in penombra ma questo gioco di ombre permette di apprezzarne ancora di più i dettagli del "fondo valle", per non parlare poi di Moretus con il suo tipico picco centrale che staglia un'ombra netta fino al fondo del bordo del cratere. Sopra Moretus si vede illuminata la parete del cratere Newton, ancora del tutto in ombra. Sotto Moretus invece troviamo i due crateri Grumberger e Cysatus.
Per dare un ordine di grandezza, Moretus ha un diamtetro di circa 114 Km, e dal fondo del cratere fino alle vetta più alta della sua parte ci sono oltre 5000m di dislivello. In tutta la foto ci sono miriadi di crateri minuscoli; quelli più piccoli hanno un diametro che si attesta attorno al km, questo per sottolineare l'importanza che ha avere un buon seeing e la risoluzione paurosa di uno specchio di 40cm!!!
Foto composta di due pannelli uniti insieme.

Jupiter with moon Io casting its shadow on Jupiter’s surface then transiting in front of the planet. Celestron NexStar 6SE, ZWO asi224mc with IR cut filter, 2.5x TeleVue Powermate and ZWO ADC. 2 minute videos Captured in SharpCap, processed in PIPP, AutoStakkert, RegiStax Wavelets then Lightroom.
The best view of Jupiter comes when it is at opposition -- opposite the position of the Sun on the sky. This image was taken within a day of opposition. You also need a very steady atmosphere -- good seeing -- to resolve small details in the clouds. When the seeing is excellent, you can see features in the polar regions of Jupiter. For about 30 minutes at the end of this session, the seeing was excellent.
This is from a series of SER files recorded with a ZWO ASI224MC camera in conjunction with a 2x Barlow, ZWO ADC, and ZWO IR cut filter. This was with the Celestron C14 at Cerritos College. Data was taken between 0830 and 0844 UT, with stacking in AutoStakkert, sharpening in PixInsight, combination of derotated images in WinJUPOS, then final touches in PixInsight and GIMP.

This is the best resolution I think I can manage with the telescope. This telescope isn't the best telescope for planetary imaging, so I'm quite happy with the result.

This is my first processed image of Jupiter in the season.
The Great Red Spot (GRS) is clearly exhibited, disturbing, as usual, the Southern Equatorial Belt (SEB) flow. However, the GRS seems to be disturbed as well by the surrounding turbulence, given that its periphery shows two tail-like features, about 110 degrees apart, resembling short spiral arms of a galaxy, suggesting that the anticyclone is probably losing matter to its neighboring region on the gas giant's upper atmosphere.
The SEB seems to be split in two, with a narrow band of seemingly laminar flow dominating its lowest latitudes.
At medium austral latitudes, three other vortices are spotted - the Ova BA being one of them - and a dark spot hovering on the top of the Southern Equatorial Zone seems to reveal some cyclogenesis taking place.
The Northern Equatorial seems narrower and more turbulent than last year.
Other than that, nothing to be worth mentioning.

Esta é minha primeira imagem processada de Júpiter nesta temporada. A Grande Mancha Vermelha (GMV) é facilmente notada, perturbando, como lhe é típico, o escoamento ao longo do Cinturão Equatorial Sul. Entretanto, a própria GMV também parece ser perturbada pela turbulência que lhe cerca, dado que apresenta duas estruturas semelhantes a caudas, separadas em aproximadamente 110 graus, lembrando curtos e incipientes braços espirais de uma galáxia, sugerindo que o anticiclone está provavelmente perdendo matéria para a região vicinal na alta atmosfera joviana.
O Cinturão Equatorial Sul parece se dividir em dois, com uma banda estreita de fluxo aparentemente laminar, dominando as latitudes mais baixas.
Nas médias latitudes austrais, três vórtices podem ser vistos - com a Oval BA sendo um deles - e uma mancha escura sobre a Zona Temperada Sul parece revelar a ocorrência de ciclogênese.
O Cinturão Equatorial Norte parece mais estreito e turbulento que no ano anterior.
This picture of Mars was captured near the time of closest opposition. It is a composite of the 200 best frames out of 10000 frames, taken over the course of just 5 minutes. I was unable to get color frames the same night, so the image is grayscale.

The crater with the bright rim in this image is Proculs. It is a 28 km diameter crater formed within the last 1.1 billion years. This crater stands out in images of the Moon as a bright spot between Mare Crisium and Mare Tranquillitatis.
The scale for this image is about 220 m per pixel.
500 frames were captured in 16-bit mode for a ZWO ASI120MM camera on a Celestron Edge HD 925. An Optolong red CCD filter was lined up in the filter wheel at the time. This is a stack of the best 150 frames, stacked in AutoStakkert. Further processing in PixInsight and Photoshop.
The Moon was 96.4% illuminated at a lunation of 16.2 days and a distance of 358,000 km from Earth. The Sun was at an altitude of about 25° in the sky from this crater at 2022-07-15 0728 UTC when this image was taken.

I had made the full disk image but... There is a part of image that I like and the (most) part that is just bad. I blame myself for mistuned filter. Contrast of the surface was very low and stacking ended up "blotchy". Seeing was nice - only slight "waving" was barely seen along the solar limb.

Processing: images were converted to monochrome and exported as 8-bit .TIFFs. Images were assembled into stack in ImageJ and saved as .AVI. AVI was processed in Autostakkert!2.
Resulting image was subjected to Richardson-Lucy deconvolution in AstraImage 3.0 (Cauchy type PSF, size 2,8 units, 10 iterations - harsh, but 88 stacked frames hold it nicely).
Contrast enchancement, high-pass filtering and coloration made in Photoshop.
Note: 200-300 frames would be just enoug to effectively supress most of ISO800 noise, but I have already noticed motion of fine solar features between first and the last frame of the sequence. Either faster camera is needed or tracking mount and and "lower ISO+longer exposure" combo.
