First light for my new ZWOASI120MC cmos camera which I got for Christmas. We've had the mono version for years and I loved it, but it stopped running on my Windows 8 laptop and nothing we tried would stop it from crashing each time I plugged it in. So I haven't used it for a very long time and it's in fact now used as a guide camera in our observatory set up! I got the colour version for Christmas but hadn't even plugged it in because I assumed I would have the same issues that I had with the older camera. Today I just figured I'd give it a try and to my astonishment it worked!
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor, and the ASI120MC camera with a 2x Barlow attached. The whole assembly was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier.
2,000 frame video shot using SharpCap, the best % frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3 Beta and wavelets adjusted in Registax 6. The image was then processed in Lightroom, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic.
After imaging an ISS solar transit, I shot some more video of the Sun in white light. I caught AR12833 on the upper left, which rotated into view a few days ago, but also very faintly to the right is AR12832 which is about to rotate out of view on the opposite side. Photo taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor fitted with a Thousand Oaks glass solar filter. The camera was an ASI120MC. 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.
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.

Last night I've been staring at my ISS animation and spotted a black cylindrical shape object with a bright blob on its top which I could suddenly identify. At first sight it looked like a russian spacecraft and also looked like it is docket to Pirs module on the Earth facing side of ISS. Which was awkward because I knew for a fact that there is no spacecraft docked to Pirs at the moment.
There is only one spacecraft around there which is Soyuz MS-08 (okey and Progress 69 too at the very top of the russian segment docked to Zvezda module :) ). So I had to come to the realization that the low 50° pass just happened in such angle that I am looking at ISS from sideways instead of upwards.
Wait up, what??!! Spacecraft on the "far side" of the station? That's coool!! :)
I think when has passed its highest altitude I rather begin to look at it from behind, just from the correct angle to be able to see MS-08. We see ISS from sideways when ratiator blocks us from seeing it fully. As frames go by MS-08 comes out from radiator's obstruction and shows its beauty, black body with white top .
I have never ever spotted spacecrafts docked to the "far side" of ISS :D
I used a 10" dobsonian telescope (250/1200 Flextube) with a Zwo ASI224MC color camera and a TeleVue 2.5x powermate to record a video at 60fps frame rate, after carefully aligning my Telrad and my main scope.
Video recorded with Fire Capture at these values:
Expo: 0.798ms
Gain: 210
After the bright ISS pass I processed the video first in PIPP. It turns a video to single frames.
Then I carefully analized the frames by checking each and every one of them. When my manual tracking was accurate, I could manage to record between 4-7 sharp frames right after each other. Those can be stacked, for stacking I always use Autostakkert 3.
I eventually ended up with 4 stacked image, so I've made an animation in Windows Movie Maker after post processing all 4 frames in Photoshop.
The picture about the ISS showing the currently docked spacecrafts is from Nasa's ISS Blog.
This is from a series of 8 SER files recorded with a ZWO ASI224MC camera in conjunction with a 2x Barlow, ZWO ADC, and ZWO IR cut filter during a period of very good seeing.

Data was taken between 1009 and 1023 UT, with stacking in AutoStakkert, sharpening in PixInsight, combination of derotated images in WinJUPOS, then final touches in PixInsight and Photoshop.

The waxing gibbous Moon from Terlingua, Texas. Good seeing right after sunset showed off the Moon to good advantage over the desert. Taken 2018-06-23 03:02 UT.
Questar telescope 1350/89 mm, f/15, with a Sony a6300 camera at prime focus. Exposed 1/40 sec at ISO 100. Best 8 of 80 images stacked in Autostakkert 3, deconvolved in Lynkeos, with final crop and exposure adjustment in Photoshop.
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
Mars on Aug. 2, 7, and 16 from Austin, Texas. Dust on Mars and dust, smoke, and clouds on Earth made me work for these. Questar 89mm telescope and ZWO ASI224 planetary camera. Images stacked in AutoStakkert 3, deconvolved in Lynkeos and PixInsight, with final composition in Photoshop.

It was a slightly hazy evening as this thin crescent moon hung low in the twighlight. I'm not usually a fan of stylized shots like this, but I wanted to try to represent the sunlit and Earthlit portions well. As I was playing around with layers, this appearance popped out. It gets a little funky in the horns of the crescent, but I like it. Taken on 2019-04-08 0302 UT. Both the sunlit and Earthlit portions are stacked in Autostakkert and given some initial processing in Pixinsight. Final combination done in PS CS 5.1.
The shots were made with the movie mode of a Samsung Galaxy S9 held afocally to a 10" Coulter Optical Dobsonian telescope.
