Taken with a Skywatcher ED80 Refractor and a Canon 500D DSLR. A Baader Astrosolar Filter fitted to telescope. Scope at F7.5 ISO200 1600th sec exposure.Focal length is 600mm ( not allowing for sensor crop value ) Best 25 of 55 images stacked with Autostakkert after processing jpg's in PIPP which centres and crops each image and outputs in this case to tiffs ready for stacking. Using jpg's as camera takes these much quicker than raws, and the resultant image doesn't seem any different from raw files. Much faster to process as a result and more chance of getting sharper images due to seeing conditions as can take many more jpg than raws quickly.

Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, 1 day before its 2022 opposition. I have only practiced collimation a handful of times with the C6, but it seems like I'm getting the hang of it. I was blown away when I made a rough "preview" edit of my first Jupiter image with this setup, and the final result was even more shocking. I could have never dreamed of getting an image this sharp when I started this hobby 4 years ago!

Jupiter season is back! This is my first Jupiter image of 2017 (and hopefully it won't be my last). This is also the first planetary image I have taken with my ASI120MC camera. It's a great camera, and I can capture 60 fps video with a 1/120 sec exposure. So, lots of frames to pick from and better noise rejection. Even though the seeing wasn't great, the final image wasn't too bad!
I used AutoStakkert! and Images Plus to put this together. I used the best 15% of the frames from a three-minute video.

It was -5°c out in the Peak District's best dark sky spot when I took this at 3am on 6th December. Made focussing this big lens all the more harder when you're trying to suppress shivering.
Taken with Olympus E-P5 and Tamron 500mm f/8 catadioptric lens. Merge of best 50% of 140 shots all taken at 1/320 and ISO640. Stacked in AutoStakkert 2, post-processed in Photoshop. I kept sharpening modest for a more natural, grain free look.
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK on 8th October 2019. Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ZWO ASI120MC camera with Powermate 5x Barlow. Mounted on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier, tracking at lunar speed.
2,000 frame video shot, the best 45% was stacked with Autostakkert! 3, processed in Lightroom, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic. I was imaging between 20:30 – 21:20 BST. The seeing was not great and the Moon was quite low in the sky, but I’m always amazed at what this little camera can achieve on such a small refractor!

Interested to see what could be caught with just a 200mm lens, wished I'd taken more pictures though for stacking and a couple of darks, still, it shows what can be done with basic equipment :-) Star and Coma elongation caused by longish exposure of 6 seconds, camera not guided as mounted on a normal tripod

Trying to further my moon photography here. I shot this with a Tokina 500mm F/8 mirror lens. The lens is not very sharp at F/8, so I created an aperture disk to stop it down to about F/22. Shot at 1/125 sec at ISO 800. I used a weighted tripod and mirror lock up to minimize vibration. I shot about 25 RAW files. Then I used a procedure I read about on ArsTechnica. I cropped and aligned the pics using PIPP. Then I sorted and stacked the best 16 frames using AutoStakkert to reduce noise. Then I sharpened the image using RegiStax with the Wavelet Sharpen tool. Finally, I used GIMP to adjust some curves and apply some chroma NR using the G'MIC plugin.
Taken with Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope and ZWO asci224mc Camera, sometime in the winter of 2017/18 (I'll find the date). Video stacked in Autostakkert 2 and processed in PS CC.
Rigel (β Orionis) appears as a bright blue white star found in the constellation of Orion. It shows some variability but is the currently the 7th brightest star in the night sky. It is believed to be 860 ± 80 light years away from Earth.
Rigel is believed to be a 3 star system, consisting of a massive blue supergiant Rigel A and two distant and much dimmer companions.
Much of Rigel's energy is emitted as ultraviolet radiation, but the visible component is around 40,000 times brighter than the Sun.
High mass stars such as Rigel exhaust their fuel at a far quicker rate than smaller stars, and so exist for only a few million years. Rigel is only around 8 million years old and has already exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core.
Over the next few million years Rigel will expand to an even greater size as it becomes a red supergiant and is likely to explode as a supernova. If this does occur, it will become the brightest object in the night sky apart from the moon.

The sun imaged in hydrogen-alpha at 04:15 UT on 2022 June 18, featuring a chromospheric disk with considerable activity. Features include minor flaring around active regions, several nice filaments and all shapes and sizes of prominences around the edge; south is up. The inset shows a part of the NW quadrant with the complex AR3030 to the west of the simpler AR3032 with several highly structured filaments adding to the spectacle.
