A shot of the waxing crescent moon that was taken on February 13, 2016 using my Stellarvue SV80 telescope and a 2X barlow (960mm effective focal length, f/12) with a ZWO ASI174MM camera (exposure time 13ms, camera gain of 179, Astronomik ProPlanet IR 742nm filter).
This was a quick grab with the moon fairly low in the sky (17 degrees altitude) using a fixed and non-tracking, alt-azimuth mount.
The picture was produced from a stack of the best 50% of 530 images taken at a scale of 1.26 arc second per pixel. Processing was done with AutoStakkert, Registax, and Photoshop CC 2015.
The image is best seen at full size (1032 x 1600) and against a dark background.

Exposures: around 1500-2500 for each frame. The Sun was imaged for 30-45 seconds every 4 minutes and 20 seconds during one hour. 25% of frames were used to generate each of 11 frames of the resulting movie.
Processing: MOVs to AVI in SUPER(C). AVIs stacked in Autostakkert!2. Deconvolution in Astra Image 3.0 (Ricardson-Lucy algoruthm, Cauchy-type PSF, size - 6 units, 7 iterations).

La X lunare, visibile in questa foto, si forma quando la luce solare arriva a lambire le parti più elevate dei crateri La Caille, Blanchinus e Purbach. La X si può osservare nei pressi del terminatore (la linea che separa la parte illuminata da quella notturna) per diverse ore quando la Luna è vicina alla fase di Primo Quarto.

Sinus Iridum (236km) also known as the ‘Bay of Rainbows’ is located in the North Western region of the moon and forms part of Mare Imbrium.
The bay is really part of a crater which has been filled with lava leaving only the higher edges visible and a faint outline to the south.
China landed their Yutu lunar rover on 14th December 2013 just to the south east of the Bay of Rainbows.

Mars a few days before it reaches opposition. Mars is making its closest approach to Earth in 15 years and reaches opposition on July 27th but it will be closest to Earth on July 31st. This was a good time to image it as was such a clear night and the Moon will be full on July 27th. I was pleasantly surprised that some detail came out despite the planet-wide dust storm currently raging on Mars and obscuring so many features. However it took a fair amount of processing to bring it out. The southern ice cap is clearly visible but appears to have been slightly coloured by the dust, which is interesting, especially as a lake of liquid water has just been discovered beneath the ice in that region.

This image is monochrome only, because I am still working out an issue that is preventing my filter wheel from responding to filter change commands. As Mars' opposition is just two weeks away and unfavorable weather can linger for days, I am anxious to get this resolved.
I deemed this image worthy of posting as it represents an improvement over my last Mars image. I attribute this to better focus that was aided by better seeing and me having developed a better eye for focusing planetary images. Astrospheric.com was calling my local seeing condition as above average, and the difference between this and what I have experienced so far in my planetary imaging journey was remarkable, and I am sure that factor alone made a difference in my ability to focus accurately. As far as the "me" factor, I spent more time watching for the smallest detail that I could discern in the shimmering image, and committing those brief instances of clarity to memory. After making focus adjustments, I would compare the new image with my memorized image, and make additional adjustments as necessary.
Major features visible in this image are south polar cap, Terra Sirenum, Valles Marineris, Solus Lacus, Olympus Mons, and Amazonis.

For those that missed it, [back in November Mercury passed in front of the Sun](www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/e0xptf/a_55_hour_time_lap...). This may be a few months late, but with school cancelled due due to COVID-19 I've got plenty of time to work through my backlog of space images. I had hazy high clouds all day, but [some heavier clouds prevented me from getting ingress of the transit](i.imgur.com/kA9Mcqe.jpg). Throughout my timelapse linked above, I did a couple of overexposed shots which show prominences around the edge of solar disc, and I decided to blend it with a composite of my normal time lapse images to make a high dyanmic range shot. Captured on November 11th, 2019, from my apartment roof.

**[Equipment:](i.imgur.com/MqTAyLN.jpg)**
* Coronado PST (Focus tube shaved down to allow for prime focus photography)
* Orion Sirius EQ-G
* ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro
* A rat's nest of cables
**Acquisition:** (Camera at Unity Gain, 0°C)
* Exposure- Set to autoexposure in Sharpcap (ranging between 0.5 and 2ms)
* 500 frame video captured with a 1 minute gap between videos for the entire transit.
* **Captures spaced ~20 mins apart were selected for this composite**
* Capture from 7:44am to 1:06pm (Due to heavy cloud cover I was unable to capture the transit Ingress)
**Capture Software:**
* Captured using of Sharpcap and [N.I.N.A.](nighttime-imaging.eu/)+ EQMOD for mount control
**Photoshop Processing:**
* Batch stacked the best 15% of frames in Autostakkert!3 with 2X resample and autosharpened
* Sharp stacks spaced ~20 mins apart were selected for the composite, as well as an overexposed shot at maximum transit
* Stacks taken into photoshop and manually aligned using the max transit/ingress/egress frames for alignment
* Mercury was masked out and the rest of the solar image was deleted for each stack (except for max transit stack, which was used as the photosphere image in the composite)
* All mercury stacks merged with Photosphere background stack
* Photosphere image inverted and then blended with Prominence image using 'Difference' mode
* Mercuries were manually selected and inverted (to yield black Mercuries instead of white from the inversion above)
* Levels adjusted to darken the Mercuries further
* Photosphere and Prominence layers merged, converted to RGB (still monochrome image), saved as .TIFF
**PixInsight Processing:**
* Monochrome image colored via [Curve](i.imgur.com/3tsT2q1.jpg)Transformation (Note: this is a false color image. My camera can only output a black and white image. The actual Hydrogen-alpha line that the telescope lets through is a very deep red.)
* More curves used to brighten an off-center dark area on the photosphere (with several range masks to fine tune tweaking)
* The gradient is still *kinda* there but this is much better than it was initially
* DynamicCrop to remove stacking artifacts on the edge of the image
* Resample to 95%
* Annotation

The ringed planet, with the Cassini Division clear as day, and maybe even a hint of the Encke gap. Much better results than when my telescope is fogged up! Easily my best Saturn yet...and you'd better believe I'll go at it again when Saturn gets closer to opposition and I maybe get a better (apo) Barlow or try out various eyepiece projection techniques.

The Moon (28/7/2015). Gibous. One of my best moon images yet! Notice the drastic colour change in the soil from gray to yellowish in the right upper side. It is due to different mineral deposits in different regions on Lunar surface.
Thanks to Ankit, Anubhav dada and Shiladitya dada for accompanying and helping me during the imaging session.
Celestron 8" Cassegrain. Nikon D5100. Stack of 25 frames.
Processing the images was a hard time! Autostakkert almost cried out and hanged multiple times trying to stack 25x 16mgpx frames tongue emoticon So I had to align and stack them manually in PS. Sharpened using wavelets in Registax. Touched up in PS.

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope. Camera was an ASI-120MC fitted with a 3x Barlow. A 1,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap and the best 25% of the frames were stacked with Autostakkert! 3. The seeing wasn't really good enough to cope with the 3x Barlow so the final result is a bit soft!
The waxing crescent moon was spectacular this evening in Austin, just a five degrees to the left of Venus. This HDR composite was made with 4 images exposed for 1/100 sec at ISO 6400 and 4 exposed for 1/2 second. The earthshine images were stacked in Lynkeos and the crescents in Autostakkert 3.
