On Monday 22nd March 2021 at 20:08:53 GMT the International Space Station transited the 62% Waxing Gibbous Moon. Fortunately our back garden was just 0.3 km from the centre line so I was able to capture this despite the fact we're still in lockdown. There was a lot of thin cloud around so conditions were tricky!
Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera. A 1,340 frame video was captured using SharpCap, then the individual frames were extracted using PIPP. The 27 frames that contained the ISS were then stacked using StarStaX in Lighten mode. The stacked image was processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. I then did a stack of the best 50% of the video frames using Autostakkert! 3 to give me a better result on the Moon. Once I'd processed that, I blended the stacked image with the ISS frames. It is so awesome to see the ISS flying over Copernicus!
This is only the second time I've imaged an ISS transit where the ISS was illuminated. It makes it much easier to see when it's about the cross the Moon!

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.

This time the atmosphere was calmer and I have started my search for Venus earlier, that allowed me to collect 143 frames while planet was still relatively high. And before processing I have checked the brightness of colour channels. The dominant component is Red, peaking near 55000. The Green is about 40000, and Blue only reaches 29000. The same ratios were preserved after processing.
Left - just like it was shot, NR and Sharp - off; center - contrast set to "Linear"; right - processed as below.
Aquisition time (start of a session): JD 2456659.041748 (01.01.2014 17:00:07 MSK)
Image orientation: straight.
Equipment:
Canon EOS 60D (unmodded) with Vixen Deluxe 2x Barlow lens on Vixen VMC110L Klevtsov-Cassegrain telescope mounted on photo-tripod via Manfrotto 410 Junior geared head.
Aperture 110 mm
Focal length 2070 mm
Tv = 1/60 seconds
Av = f/18,8
ISO 800
Exposures: 143
Processing: contrast curve was set to linear for all images and images were converted to 16 bit clour .TIFFs, assembled into stack in ImageJ and separated into colour channels. Each channel was saved as .AVI and stacked in Autostakkert!2. Images were asembled into colour composites in ImageJ and subjected to Richardson-Lucy deconvolution in AstraImage 3.0 (Gaussian type PSF, size 2,2 units, 7 iterations).
Note: apparent size of a planet exceeded 1 minute of arc :)
Taken with a Canon 60D using a Tamron SP AF70-300mm VC USD Zoom lens. 10 image stack using Autostakkert 2 tried for fun :-) Image heavily cropped and enlarged
So after a huge fail mounting my old 400mm on my barn door tracker (it has too much errors for 400mm so i'll build a better one), i decided that i was going to spend my time shooting images for stacking the moon. I've never done that before so i wanted to give it a try.
This was made with 80 exposures, f32 1/800 iso100. Centered, cropped (2000x2000 crop) and converted to Tiff with PIPP then stacked in Autostakkert2. Finished in PS.
Quite glad with the result for a first try!
This region shows Aristarchus and Herodotus, plus Vallis Schroter. It also extends out towards Copernicus and the ejecta rays from it were looking gorgeous!

Main craters are Stofler and Maurolycus (76 miles and 69 miles wide respectively). Lots of interesting details here, ridges, craterlets etc
At the bottom left is a prominent ridge which is part of the Heraclitus formation:
From the Virtial Moon Atlas: "Heraclitus: Circular formation forming a remarkable quartet with Licetus. Heraclitus D and an other crater to the West.
Pretty steep slopes crushed by Licetus to the North Cuvier to the East and Heraclitus D to the South.
Pretty high walls riddled of craterlets.
Tormented floor riddled with craterlets and separated in two by a central crest line."

Mars at 23:59 UT, 20/09/2020. Good seeing conditions at times on this occasion. 7.5 minutes worth of data, the result of merging 3 files in Winjupos, each the best 4,000 of 20,000 frames, resized 150%. Captured using Firecapture V2.5. Processed using Autostakkert V3.0.14 , Registax V6 and Winjupos. Equipment used, Celestron C14 Edge HD, CGEPRO Mount, ZWO ASI224MC camera and Carl Zeiss 2 X Barlow.
Taken just over 9 hours past the exact time of Full Moon, during the 2nd Full Moon of January 2018 making this a Blue Moon.
Taken with an 8" Ritchie-Chretien telescope, focal reducer and Canon 1100D on an EQ6 mount.
1500 frame videos shot with Backyard EOS, best 50% of the first video and 53% of the second video stacked using Autostakkert! 3 (Beta) then processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The 2 sections were stitched together using Microsoft ICE
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Helios 102mm refractor fitted with a home made Baader solar film filter + Celestron 3x Barlow Video captured with SharpCap. Best 60% of a 1,000 frame video was stacked in Autostakkert! 3 then processed in Lightroom, Photoshop CS2 and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The first step in processing was to remove all colour, then false colour was added back in after processing because I find I get a better result that way. As well as the sunspot there are some lovely faculae showing up (the brighter white wiggly bits!)
"3D" anaglyph of Jupiter. Red/cyan glasses needed to see the 3D effect.
I used two images of Jupiter I took on May 26 to create this composite. The "right eye" image was taken first. 15 minutes later, as Jupiter rotated a bit, a second image was captured, to serve as the left eye perspective.
Further details on how the images were captured and processed:
ASI planetary camera on an 11" Celestron Edge HD with a 2.5x PowerMate (about 7000mm focal length). Used the best 20% of 36,000+ frames captured over 5 minutes. De-rotated the subs using WinJupos. Stacked using AutoStakkert!2. Wavelet sharpened using Registax. Other adjustment made in Photoshop.
This Mars really had me working. Seeing was less than average and I noticed sort of a ghost line on the top. After aligning and measuring several times in Winjupos I decided to check images of other astrophotographers and realized that most of them have the same line especially an image from Christopher Go on the same night. I then realized that the polar cap has a dark ring and some dark features were actually turning into the visible part of the disc as I imaged so it gives the impression of a ghost shadow. Anyway I still feel there is a shadow but there will be more Mars to image this week. The Image has 15.000 frames on Luminance and 5000 for each of the color filters (R,G,B). Camera was the ASI120MM and processing using Autostakkert, Registax and Winjupos. Will continue to pursue Mars during April.
Shot from Joshua Tree, CA - 30% illuminated. I usually do not shoot with the Nikon D80 through the telescope, but there wasn't much to do while waiting for the Moon to set this night, other than photograph the Moon.
The following maria are present in the photo:
Mare Crisium
Mare Tranquillitatis
Mare Serenitatis
Mare Nectaris
Mare Fecunditatis
The terminator falls across the craters Eudoxus and Aristoteles in the north.
This is a stack of 11 images shot with the D80 through a Celestron Edge HD 9.25" scope at f/10 and ISO 400. Each frame was 1/200 s. 14 frames were put together in VitrualDub, and AutoStakkert 2 was used to combine the best 11 of those. Final processing in both PixInsight and PS CS 5.1.
Rupes Altai is the southern segment of the outer rim of the Nectaris impact basin. The escarpment extends from left center to bottom center of the image, casting a shadow onto the lower terrain to its north.
Captured along with Crater Piccolomini under a low Sun angle, the immense size of the impact basin and the tremendous energy of the impactor are readily apparent.
