Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope + ASI120MC fitted with a 2x Barlow.
1,000 frame video shot with SharpCap, the best 50% of the frames were stacked with Autostakkert! 3. Stacked images were processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The colour was removed during processing then false colour added back in using Photoshop CS2. This image is a composite of two exposures, one exposed slightly more to capture the small prominences. The two images were processed separately then merged in Photoshop.
There was a lot of activity on the Sun that day!

Here another three images of Jupiter of that night. This was my second and probably my last session that season.
The seeing was not quite as good and more variable compared to my first session on the 25/09. During the middle image series my green channel was excellent. It therefore shows the most details.
Imaged as usual through a 10 inch Meade ACF with Baader Hyperion Barlow lens in x2.25 configuration, which gives me an effective focal length of about 6.3 m. Camera was an old ZWO ASI 120MM with ZWO RGB filters. All RGB videos were 120 s long each, exposure per frame was between 11 ms and 15 ms; gain 75%; gamma 50.
40% to 45% of the frames were stacked and pre-sharpened in Autostakkert. Then derotated with WinJupos. Afterwards, I combined the RGB images in PS and further sharpened with unsharpen mask. In the end some noise reduction filter.
Under average seeing tonight, a bit hazy too.
Taken with Nikon d3300 attached to my Skywatcher 130p with a 2x barlow.
200 frames stacked out of 4000 in autostakkert 2, deconvolution sharpened in Imppg and finished in Photoshop.

Jupiter on opposition night 2021. I was lucky enough to have a clear night with all the surrounding days being either cloudy or raining.
Taken using:

Seeing was good. The South Polar Ice-cap (composed of water ice & dry ice) shows up very nicely. The dark patches includes (I think) Mare Acidalium to the S, & Syrtis Major to the W (left), according to Sky & Telescope, Mars Profiler.
Mars is getting closer to Earth & will be in opposition at 2320 utc on October 13, 2020.
Hope Humans do get there in not too distant future.

Den stora, runda och plattbottnade kratern till vänster i bild har fått sitt namn efter den grekiske filosofen Platon.
Den bildades vid ett nedslag för cirka 3.8 miljarder år sedan, är 101km i diameter, 1.5km djup och ligger på norra stranden av Mare Imbrium, i västra änden av bergskedjan Montes Alpes.
I nedre högra hörnet syns även Mare Serenitatis och bergskedjan mellan de två haven har fått namnet Montes Apenninus.
Montes Alpes och Montes Apenninus fick sina namn på 1600-talet av den polsk-tyske astronomen Jan Hevelius, efter de europeiska bergskedjorna Alperna och Apenninerna.

Seen here are is the remarkable crater Petavius, bottom near the right with its "Frankenstein" scar and gigantic central peaks. It has a diameter of 107 miles. Left middle showing bright rays is crater smaller Petavius B at 19 miles diameter. Crater Langrenus is an 80 mile diameter beauty.
The moon at Day 15.3 is waning while remaining very nearly full. The full moon is usually a fairly bland target because the beautiful stark shadows near the terminator from a low sun angle don't exist at 100% illumination. BUT a half day after full when it was 99.5% illuminated? Now we're talking! There's a nice narrow limb terminator available in the shadowed 0.5%.
This stacked single image is from the best 1,500 of 3,000 AVI frames taken with a Celestron 236M camera using iCap software. The telescope is a Celestron 8 Evolution at about 200 power. A red filter added clarity. Autostakkert! 2.6.8 was followed by gentle Adobe Lightroom processing.
Notice how foreshortening of the gigantic limb craters near the southeastern terminator readily shows the towering rims of the crater walls. This image is rotated 90 degrees left to give an impression of flying over the area in a personal spaceship.
Seeing was about a 6 out of 10. Sad, but Florida gives up good seeing only rarely. So we go on.
Mars 10th Jan 2025(21:39 UT) , under very good seeing conditions. This image is made up of 5 images de rotated within Winjupos, each image consists of the best 1,000 frames from a 10,000 frame AVI.

In the wee small hours of this morning the waning Moon lifted above the horizon and the nearby houses and trees to reveal this view to the world.
I used Autostakkert! 4 to integrate the best 75% of the frames from a 3 minute RAW AVI video from my Seestar S50. Then I used AstroSurface to crop the image, sharpen the data, correct the white balance and adjust the saturation to draw out the mineral colours without overdoing it. A bit of Photoshop CS4 for the captions.

On 2014 October 23, we used the Coranado 60mm H-alpha solar telescope on a CGEM with a Point Grey Flea3 color CCD to capture these images from Cerritos College in Norwalk, CA. The frames span about 25 minutes of the eclipse, beginning at 15:20 PM PDT. Students in my Tuesday and Wednesday Observational Astronomy labs helped me process the movies into individual frames using AutoStakkert 2 and GIMP. The individual frames were assembled into an animation in GIMP and PS CS 5.1.
The sun had an enormous active region (AR 2192) at the time of the eclipse, and some small flaring activity is visible in the video. There is also a large filament that gets obscured by the moon, and many prominences, which show hydrogen gas, danced around the limb of the sun.

A few low clouds started to roll in off the North Sea, trying to spoil my observing session. However, after processing it the next day, I'm pleased with the outcome.
A global sand storm was raging on Mars during Earth's northern summer of 2018.
Venus isn't a planet we get to image very often because it's usually visible just after sunset or just before sunrise due to its proximity to the Sun and those aren't convenient times to be imaging, but every so often an opportunity to capture it presents itself and we caught it just in time. What I'm hoping to do is get further captures of it over the next couple of months and create a sequence of it getting bigger and becoming more of a crescent as it gets closer to us but that will be dependent on weather and time. At the time this shot was taken Venus was 62.4% illuminated and 132,100,000 km away from Earth. We measured its angular diameter to be 18.91 arcseconds which translated to a diameter of 12109.17 km...not too far off the 12,103.6 km given by both Stellarium and Wikipedia.

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope + Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount, tracking at solar rate.
2,000 frame video captured with SharpCap, the best 75% stacked using Autostakkert! 3, then processing was done using Lightroom, Photoshop CS2, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic.
This was an impressive region of prominence activity on the south eastern limb, and it was amazing to see how the area had changed in the space of an hour. There were several filaments visible on the disc as well.
