What a difference $27B per year makes!
My attempt on the left; NASA's on the right (MOONTrek screen shot.)
I used an Earth-based Skymax 150mm f/12 Mak and ZWO ASI432MM. IR pass filter with a 2.5x PM. Sharpcap, Autostakkert, MS ICE, and Photoshop. Seeing was quite good for North Florida.
Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, about 2 months before its 2023 opposition. 2 of the 4 Galilean moons are visible.
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.

Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and a Canon 600D at prime focus. 20 image stack using Autostakkert 2. Levels adjusted to bring out the pale moon from the bright blue sky
After almost 10 days of overcast skies, finally managed to get some gaps in between the clouds. Also managed to get about 220fps for Mars using Sharpcap. Not bad.
Jupiter and Saturn were de-rotated from a 90sec video
The weird lines were all over the place. Any idea what causing it?

May 15, 2022, a partly cloudy night, with a few opportunities to observe this eclipse..
Image taken with a Coronado PST, 2x Barlow and Canon 1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount
Images shot in RAW with the camera set to mono to assist with focusing. Images then cropped and tweaked in Lightroom and exported as TIFFs
Best 30% of 320 images stacked using Autostakkert! 2. Stacked image was duplicated, then using Lightroom one was processed to enhance the prominences and the other to enhance the surface details.
False colour was then added and the 2 images merged using a layer mask in Photoshop CS2, then final tweaks made in Lightroom and Focus Magic
Sketch was done with coloured pastel pencils on black paper then photographed

The large prom that showed up to the North of my good friend AR2585 had given me a stimul to play with PST tuner to get more contrast of this feature. The resulting new settings killed the edge-on proms but had enchanced disk details, including prom of interest and "plages" in active regions (right), which were mostly unseen with previous setting (left).
North is up and to the left, West is right and up.

It's a beautiful clear night in Austin, Texas, with a 2 day old waxing crescent Moon at 2018-10-11 01:00 UT. Questar 89 mm f/15 telescope with a Sony a6300 camera at prime focus. Crescent exposed 1/10 sec at ISO 400, earthshine exposed 10 sec at ISO 400.
Crescent best 8 of 81 images stacked in Autostakkert 3. Eathshine 15 images stacked in Lynkeos. Images deconvolved in Lynkeos, the composited, cropped, and exposure adjustments in Photoshop.
This was SOOOOOOO much work (and the result is a video less than a minute long!!!!!!).
I started imaging the Moon at 15:45 UT on 10th February, while it was still daylight. I shot videos of several regions of interest then went back out again once it had got darker. I then decided that I'd go out at regular intervals during the evening and do some repeat observations of the same regions. My final observations where at 22:30 UT, bringing my total number of repeat observations to five. I would have done more but I ran out of hard disc space on my laptop!
Equipment used was a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera, shot through a Celestron 3x Barlow. Each video was 2,000 frames, and depending on the quality graph, I stacked either the best 25% or the best 50% of the frames. Images were stacked in Autostakkert! 3, then processed in Lightroom. I then went through the painfully laborious process of manually aligning the shots of each region using Photoshop CS2 so I could make a little animation.
This video shows the sunrise and evolution of the shadows on craters that were already illuminated over 6 hours 45 minutes.

Whitelight (continuum) Sun dated back to 3th of August 2014.
Image taken with Seymour Solar 100 mm clear aperture ERF and Baader Planetarium 450+/-20 nm Solar Continuum filters mounted on Vixen VMC110L Klevtsov-Cassegrain telescope coupled to Canon 60D.
20 untracked shots (1/20", ISO800) stacked in AS!2 and passed through deconvolution in AstraImage (Cauchy type PSF, size 5,7 units, 6 iterations).
Given 1035 mm focal length and 100 mm clear aperture I'm getting f/10,35 and 1,4" resolving limit.
The diameter of Solar disk is 2511 pixels, and given it's 30 arcminutes wide the equivalent pixel size 1,6" while the minimal resolvable distance on the image is - obviously - 1,4". Undersampling, sir :)
Q: does fine chaotic pattern seen at fullsize image correspond to photospheric granulations or it's a noise+moire exaggerated with deconvolution?
Limiting resolution experiment is pending but delayed due to the sudden change of the weather :(
BTW: My first observation of (reversed (: ) Wilson effect!
WARNING! Sun is dangerous, use proper filters for observing and imaging!

Mare Crisium, Mare Fecunditatis, and the surrounding area are lit by sunlight coming in at a low angle in this pair of views. The top image was shot around 2020-09-04 0620 UT and the bottom image around 0900 UT. Look closely at the length of shadows in each - you can see how the Sun has sunk closer to the horizon during the time between the two images.
The north edge of the Moon is at the left in these images. Looking along the terminator, some craters that stand out are Geminus and Cleomedes to the north and Langrenus and Petavius to the south. The central peaks of Langrenus and Petavius show the change in the length of their shadows particularly well.
Each image is a composite from stacks of SER files shot with a ZWO ASI120MM with a #58 green filter. The scope was a Celestron Edge HD 925 at f/10. Stacking in AutoStakkert with the best 75 of 300 frames; individual images merged in Photoshop for the composite; final processing in PixInsight.

Venus, the 2nd planet from the Sun, has the hottest surface temperature in the Solar System at a scorching 867°F (464°C). This is caused by a runaway greenhouse effect from the buildup of carbon dioxide. Inevitably, Earth will suffer a similar fate within a few billion years as the Sun's luminosity increases. At the rate we're going, humans will be long gone before then.
Because its orbit is smaller than ours, Venus goes through phases from our perspective just like the moon does. But unlike the moon, Venus grows significantly larger during the thin crescent phases as it gets closer to us (and largest at "inferior conjunction," the equivalent to new moon). I'm looking forward to documenting the phases with my new equipment over the next few months.

After I had imaged the two active regions visible on today's Sun, I upped the exposure level and checked around the limb for any other prominences. I was really happy when I spotted this lovely looping prominence on the SE limb, but once I'd stacked and processed the image, I noticed some other fainter proms a bit further up. Photo taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC fitted with a 2x Barlow. A 2,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap and the best 75% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3. Stacked image was processed in Lightroom, Fast Stone Image Viewer, Photoshop CS2 and Focus Magic.
