In this wide field view of the southeastern lunar highlands, the lunar south pole is just off of the left edge of the photo. Tycho's bright rays can be seen emerging from the top left corner of the photo. The large Janssen crater complex is held in striking relief as the lunar terminator approaches from the right edge of the photograph.

Jupiter has been prominent in the southwestern sky for months and I've been using it to align my telescope without ever taking much of a close look at it. As part of my ongoing field test of the Questar PowerGuide 3 mount, I decided to take one good run at imaging a GRS transit. The 3.5" Questar does paticularly well for visual observation of the sun, moon, and planets, and with a bit of coaxing can deliver a respectable image as shown above.
Tech Stuff: Questar 3.5" telescope on unguided PG3 mount; imaged with ZWO ASI 120MC camera through 2.0X Televue Barlow. I'm a bit rusty with planetary image processing so I cycled through Registax 6.0 and Autostakkert 2 plus PIPP and PixInsight. Final image used sharpened stacks from 6 sets of 1000 frame avi files collected during the 20 central minutes of the GRS transit, derotated with WinJupos and finished with PixInsight, GIMP, and ACDSee.. Imaged from my yard 10 miles north of New York City.
The clouds parted for a lovely view of the waning gibbous March moon through our oak tree. This is shot with the WO RedCat 250/52mm 2 inch telescope and Sony a7iii. The high resolution Moon is thanks to a four frame dithered stack in Autostakkert. HDR composite in Photoshop. Taken 2020-03-11 04:16 UT from Austin, Texas. Sony a7iii with f/4.9 RedCat 51 telescope,
Moon 1/250 sec exposure and foreground 1/5 sec. Best 4 of 45 exposures lucky image stack in AutoStakkert 3, deconvolution in Lynkeos, and HDR compositing, crop, and exposure adjust in Photoshop.
Saturn from Bay of Plenty New Zealand on 29th July 2013, a very good clear night. Taken through Celestron C8 on CG-5 GT mount with GSO 2x barlow and Canon 60D. Image stacked in Autostakkert 2 from 1m 42s of video. Wavelet sharpening on stacked image in Registax 6 then levels, saturation, other processing, and image resizing in Photoshop Elements 9. Noise reduction using Neat Image plugin.
The impact craters Tycho and Clavius (upper right and lower left, respectively) and their surroundings as photographed on the evening of July 13, 2016 on a nine-day-old, waxing gibbous moon.
Craters smaller than 2km are clearly shown in this photo which would suggest an image resolution of less than 1 arc second (about the same size as a dime when viewed from two miles away).
The crater Clavius is famous for being the location of the moon base in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey." Also, the crater Tycho is where that movie’s fictional black monolith was found.
Taken with a Celestron 9.25” EdgeHD telescope and a ZWO ASI178MM-Cool camera (prime focus, best 25% or 1000 frames). Image processing done with Autostakkert!, Registax, and Photoshop CC2015.

This was my first time using the ZWO Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector. The difference is incredible! I was able to capture a decent Mercury image through poor seeing even as it descended from 12° to 6° in altitude. Can't wait to see the improvement in my planetary images this year.
As light passes through our atmosphere, different wavelengths experience varying levels of refraction. The result is a color shift, where blue light is shifted upwards (away from the horizon) and red light downwards. The ADC magically reverses the destructive effect, increasing sharpness.

72 image stack, worked pretty well. Altair Astro 70mm f6 triplet at f12 using 2x teleconverter on Nikon D5300. Stacked in Autostakkert (Windows) and processed using deconvolution in Lynkeos (Mac).
My best image of Saturn to date. Seeing was mediocre, and my imaging and processing skills are still developing. I believe that better seeing could have greatly enhanced this image.

Had a go at Mars the other night but couldnt realy get any detail out of it other than a slight view of the polar ice caps, if you look hard an use your imagination.

I have been told there is a great dust storm on Mars which could be why I couldn't get any features in my pictures.
A nice clear night for the waxing gibbous Moon. Taken 2019-04-15 02:33 UT from Austin, Texas. Questar 1350/89mm f/15 telescope and Sony a6300 camera at prime focus. Exposed 1/30 sec at ISO 100. Best 8 of 154 images stacked in AutoStakkert 3, deconvolve in Lynkeos, with final crop and exposure in Photoshop.
Cropped from a full disk image of the moon taken in Austin, Texas, on 2018-12-24 04:54 UT. Taken with a Questar 1350/89 mm telescope and Sony a6300 camera at prime focus and exposed for 1/50 sec at ISO 100 f/15.

27% Waxing Crescent Moon. Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor with ASI120MC camera + Celestron 3x Barlow. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier.
Between 21:17 and 21:35 BST, 11 x 2,000 frame videos were captured covering the whole Moon using SharpCap, the best 30% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3. 7 of the stacked images were stitched using Microsoft ICE then processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The first video I shot was pretty clear but then thin cloud was moving across the Moon for the remainder of the imaging session.
Mars as it looked on the night of 6th-7th August. With an orbital period of 686.971 days, Mars only appears as more than a red dot every couple of years so its appearance is something I always look forward to. Mars reaches opposition on October 13 and at that time it will appear significantly larger, brighter and rounder than it looks now (in this image it is 87.1% illuminated, at opposition we will see the full disk). However, despite being two months away from opposition, Mars is very dominant in the night sky and well worth observing.
