Northfield, OH
May 15, 2022, a partly cloudy night, with a few opportunities to observe this eclipse.
I still don't know what had gone wrong but I can't get the "right" part of Solar limb right - some troubles with stacking and I'm still trying to "rectify" this dataset. But the area of particular interest turned out good, imho :)
WARNING! Sun is dangerous, use proper filters for observing and imaging!

While waiting for Jupiter to rise above the rooftops, I took some images of the Moon.
This was taken with a Canon DSLR using EOS Movie Record utility to record video which was then processed in Autostakkert, registax and photoshop.
The Moon, taken with a Canon 600D and a Canon F4 IS L 70-200mm Zoom Lens. Image savagely cropped ! 10 images stacked using Autostakkert.
The night of 6th-7th August was very clear in London So we thought we'd image some planets for a change. At this time, this year, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are well placed for imaging although Jupiter and Saturn are very low in the sky. Jupiter reached opposition on July 14 this year so in this shot it is no longer as impressive as it was a couple of weeks ago but it's still big and bright enough to be interesting to image. We took numerous shots at different gain settings and exposures and this is the first image that I'm happy with but there are still lots more to process. This is a composite shot with the moons taken from another video, stacked and placed in the correct positions. Europa is on the left and Io is on the right. The final picture was resampled to make it larger while maintaining quality.

A nice sunspot shot on June 13th at 13:29pm.
I used a ZWO 290MM for this for the first time. I had used it previously on some lunar work and was really impressed with the results, however I wasn’t so sure with solar imaging as I don’t have a UV IR filter setup that would work with it.
I decided to try it out anyway and here is the results.
I shot 10,000 frames, best 20% stacked in Autostakkert 2. Conditions were pretty poor with incredible amount of turbulence. I’m still really impressed with the final image despite this though and is a real testament to the 290MM’s ability and more frames.

One of my favorite lunar targets is Clavius, shot in IR instead of luminance in this photo. What I find interesting is the combination of its setting in the rugged southern lunar highlands, its large size (230 km), the foreshortening effect of its position relative to the limb, a plethora of interesting craters in its floor and rim, and even craters within craters.

The bright crater shown here is Aristarchus - the brightest feature on the Moon. Left of it is the crater Herodotus, with the channels of Vallis Schroteri stretching toward the top of the frame. In the upper right, Prinz is the crater that has half of its walls missing.
Taken around 2021-06-23 0535 UT, the waxing gibbous moon was 12.8 days past new and displaying 96.5% of its illuminated side. The Moon was at an altitude of 32°, and seeing was, at best, moderate this evening.
This is a stack of 55 of 300 frames shot with a ZWO ASI120MM through a Celestron Edge HD 925 with 2x Barlow. Stacking was done in AutoStakkert with processing in PixInsight and Photoshop.
Saturn is at opposition with Earth on 27th June (this is when Earth is aligned between the Sun and Saturn and so is at its closest to the planet). This means that at a mere 1.2 billion kilometers away Saturn appears bigger and brighter in the night sky and it's the best time to image it. This image was taken on 23rd June, very close to opposition so much more detail is showing including at least three of its rings as well as the Cassini division. Also visible is some of the banding in the planet's turbulent atmosphere caused by its fast rotation of 10 and a half hours. This image has been cropped to enlarge the features.

ISO-800 1/320, shot in raw but with the camera set on Mono. 250 images shot. Images pre-processed in Lightroom to remove the colour, and then exported at TIFFs. Best 75% of those images were stacking in Autostakkert! 2. The stacked image was duplicated; both processed using Lightroom and Photoshop CS2. One image was processed to bring out the prominences and the other to bring surface detail, then they were merged in Photoshop, Final tweaks made in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer.
This is the first time I've imaged the Sun for quite a while so I'm very out of practice!

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.
The shadowed edge (terminator) of the first quarter moon as captured on June 30, 2017 using a Celestron C6 telescope with a ZWO ASI174MM camera.
This area also includes the locations of the Apollo 11 and 16 moon landings (see image notes). The craters Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins are also visible in the large version of the image (named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts and located near to the landing site).
This month (July 2017) will mark the 48th anniversary of man's first step on the moon.

Almost out of nowhere I recently began to experience a halo on the limb side of my Mars images that I now understand is called the Mars Rind Effect. I had not heard this term until I started reading about the ghost rings that began appearing in my Mars images.
In the red channel image posted here, the rind effect appears as an outer ring and inner ring on the limb, or the left side of Mars' disk. The outer diffraction ring is dimmer than Mars but brighter than space. It is seen around the outside of Mars' disk as a halo that starts at about 12 O'clock and proceeds in a counterclockwise direction and starts to diminish at about 9 0'clock, and is gone by about the 8 O'clock position. As this outer ring begins to diminish in brightness, the inner ring that is dimmer than Mars and traces the inside of the limb begins to appear and it continues to about 6 O'clock on the disk.
The root cause of the effect is the stark intensity difference between the bright surface of the planet against the darkness of space with almost no gradient in between. This sharp and higly-contasted difference interacts with the aperture ring and the secondary mirror of the telescope to create diffraction rings in the image. In short, anything that sharpens the transition from the darkness of space to the brightness of the planet will cause the rind effect to be more noticeable.
An interesting charicteristic of the effect is that it is more noticeable in the IR channel, and less so progressing through the R and G channels to the B channel. It is barely noticeable in unsharpened images coming out of Autostakkert, but wavelet sharpening in Registax really makes it stand out.
There is no diffraction ring on the terminator side, or the right side of Mars. This is because the transition from daylight to darkness on the surface of Mars is a gradient over a larger number of pixels. In a somewhat like manner, it turns out that Jupiter and Saturn are less prone to diffraction rings because of the limb darkening effect that creates a gradient of light reflecting off of cloud tops instead of a distinct surface.
It turns out that I may have started experiencing the rind effect as a result of a comedy of successes as I have worked to improve my planetary imaging techniques lately. These successes are better focus and better collimation. Switching to Chroma filters may also have been an improvement that made the effect more noticeable, and better seeing that favored me on the night of this capture could have also contributed. That I am finally seeing this effect in my images may be a high-quality problem!
Now that I have identified the cause, the question becomes what to do about it. There are various Photoshop and WINJUPOS remedies that can be found in Cloudy Nights, I see images captured near the same time as mine that appear to have successfully removed the rind effect. Some imagers may deem these remedies to be "unfair" alterations of the "true" image, and personally elect to leave the effect in the image.
I have not yet made a personal decision on how to handle the rind effect in my Mars images. More to come!

Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer mount (it has a lunar tracking mode available) + Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED (72/420mm) + filter wheel with Baader LRGB filters set (for the transit UV/IR filter was used) + Barlow 2x + ZWO ASI174MM camera. To get the color shot R, G and B channels, 3000 frames per each (and 3000 more through UV/IR filter, which was used as L channel later on). As the Moon doesn't fit the field in this configuration, two panels were shot. ISS cropped out manually using Gimp; stacked and sharpened using cvAstroAlign (25 frames out of 70 went into stack); later on got ISS out using Gimp. Moon stacked using AutoStakkert! 3, then aligned the channels using PlanetarySystemLRGBAligner, then combined to obtain RGB using ImageMagick; L channel added in Gimp. Then assembled the panorama using Hugin. Post-processing in RawTherapee. Added ISS back using Gimp
It's been a hot minute since I did some proper solar imaging. Today I was out between 12 noon and 13:00 BST capturing videos. I was shooting through thin cloud so conditions weren't the best, but I got this nice prominence on the NE limb.
Taken with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC camera fitted with a 2x Barlow on an EQ5 Pro mount tracking at solar speed. The 3x Barlow stuff isn't worth sharing!
This image is the best 50% of a 2,000 frame video. Stacked in Autostakkert! 3, colour removed and processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone then false colour added back in using Photoshop CS2 (I've recorded my own action for this to try to get a bit of continuity)

Captured at 9.31pm on January 5th 2024, this photo shows Jupiter and its famous Great Red Spot transiting the surface.
I captured this from my garden telescope (1000mm focal length newtonian at F5) with a combination of a 2X Barlow with spacers to increase magnification. The camera I used was a ZWO 533MC.
2 minute capture of around 13000 frames. Best 50% were stacked in AutoStakkert 3 using 1.5 drizzle mode.
Inspired by today's High Resolution Planetary Imaging workshop with Damian Peach, I went back and reprocessed my best Jupiter data to date.
2000 frame video captured with a 10" Dobsonian Telescope, 2x Barlow and Canon 1100D. Captured using Backyard EOS
