Uranus as imaged from home on the 1st Jan 2018.
A reasonably clear night, teamed up with a pretty well aligned scope meant it was easy to find Uranus.
I used the ZWO ZSI120mc CCD camera and Firecapture to collate the raw footage, and processed in AutoStakkert and DSS.

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.

Jupiter, the 5th planet, is growing larger in our sky as we approach opposition in August. This was my first time capturing the Great Red Spot since July 2019. The GRS is the largest storm in the Solar System, with a diameter larger than Earth. Wind speeds in the storm peak at 268 mph (432 km/h).
Two of Jupiter's moons are also visible in this shot: Europa (closer to the planet) and Io (further). Jupiter has 80 known moons and a faint ring system. Its atmosphere is separated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along the boundaries.

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.

Taken during the September 2013 Astrocamp event in Cwmdu, Wales.
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.

It's been too long since I've taken a moon image. Past time to see how the little 2" RedCat performs on the Moon, it took a couple of weeks to get around to processing the images. I had to wait for a bug to be fixed in Crossover Mac to allow the stacking program that I prefer, Autostakkert 3, to run on the all 64bit macOS Catalina. I now have 64 bit versions of all my astronomy software running again on macOS. The waxing gibbous Moon of 2020-01-05 05:24 UT from Austin. I used the Sony a6300 for a less undersampling and a 1.5x drizzel and the Moon is nice and clear even with just 250mm of focal length. Not as sharp as the Questar but with plenty of room for other interesting things in the image although the moon was too high in the sky this time for that.

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.

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.
