This pair of craters, Messier (right) and Messier A (left), are unique in their noticeably elongated shapes that are caused by the low impact angle of an impacting body that approached from the east (from the right). After creating the Messier crater, the impacting body could have rebounded and formed Messier A. A nearly linear ray of impact ejecta extends westward across the floor of Mare Fecunditatis. A series of dorsa can be seen crossing the rays at a nearly perpendicular angle.
Rima Messier can be seen extending downward toward the southeast near the top center of the image.

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.
Captured with a Nikon D5500 and a 10-inch Meade LX200 'Classic' f/6.3 wide-field telescope.

Dopo aver ripreso Saturno e dato che le condizioni del cielo erano molto buone, ho deciso di riprendere anche Giove. Il pianeta è ben visibile luminoso prima dell'alba e ricordo che sarà in opposizione il 26 settembre prossimo.
Il video contiene 6160 fotogrammi e la ripresa è durata 90 secondi.
Grazie al buon seeing ho potuto ottenere un'immagine bella e abbastanza dettagliata dell'atmosfera del gigante gassoso con le bande colorate e la Grande Macchia Rossa, la gigantesca tempesta che dura da almeno 3 secoli sul pianeta.
In basso a destra nell'immagine è visibile il satellite Io, uno dei 4 satelliti galileiani.

This lovely sunspot has just rotated into view and is currently nestled in amongst a group of faculae. There was a lovely prominence on the limb above the sunspot and there are lots of spicules visible along the limb.
Taken from Oxfordshire with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC + Celestron 3x Barlow. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount tracking at solar speed. A 2,000 frame video was captured using SharpCap, then the best 50% of the frames were stacked in Autostakkert! 3. Stacked image was processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. The colour was removed before processing then false colour added back in using Photoshop CS2 once the image had been processed.

Suggested title: our colorful Moon
Setup: Fujifilm x-t30 mirrorless camera attached to a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 127 mm aperture and 1500 mm focal length.
Processing: stack of best 100 shots out of 400 and sharpening with the Autostakkert!3 software. Saturation of colours with GIMP (on a layer without sharpening to avoid introducing noise). To obtain the three dimensional effect, a second picture of the Moon (taken on February 7 2020 17.41 UT from the same location) was included as an opaque layer. The two Moon pictures where aligned with the WinJUPOS software before processing with GIMP (perfect alignment of moon features was not possible due to moon libration).

Memories:After an imaging run on the Jellyfish nebula came to a close with low altitude I was left with no more narrowband targets left to image. Decided to image the full Moon with narrowband, mapping (SII) to Red, (OIII) to Blue and 50% both (SII) and (OIII) to create a synthetic Green as no RGB filters in my filterwheel.

In an effort to curb the "astro-fix" and having reprocessed every image I ever took, I decided to work my planetary skills. Downloaded AutoStakkert_2.1.0.5 and tried it on several "movies" I took this summer. I took this image back in May 2012 with my 8" Meade SCT LX-50 and my Canon T3i. 1 minute movie.
Needs alot of work, but it's probably my best to date.
This is a section of a mosaic of the northern, Earth-facing region of the moon. Visible in this picture are Mare Frigoris, Sinus Roris, and Sinus Iridum. The crater Plato is prominent in the center of the image.
All images were taken from Long Beach, CA, with a Celestron Edge HD 9.25" telescope at f/10 with a Point Grey Flea3 color CCD camera. The best 200 of 800 frames were stacked in AutoStakkert!2, then processed in GIMP 2.6. The frames were assembled into a mosaic with Microsoft ICE.
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK, shot during freezing fog/mist!
I was booked to do an astronomy session with our village Beavers group, to help them work towards their Space Exploration Badge. I had planned to take one of our telescopes across so they could all look at some crater shadows. Before I went to do the talk I shot some video of 3 different regions where the shadows were looking really good, then after I got home again I shot the same regions to show how the shadows evolved over that time. The gap between the two imaging sessions was just over 3 hours. The difference in the length of the central peak shadow on crater Walther is really noticeable. In image 2 the Sun has also risen on the floor of crater Purbach (this is the location of the "Lunar X". The rim of crater Huggins has also come into view on the second image.
Taken with a William Optics 70mm refractor with 3 x Barlow and ZWO ASI120MC camera on an EQ5 Pro Mount which is on a permanent pier. Tracking at lunar rate.
2,000 frame video shot, the best of those were stacked with Autostakkert! 3 (between 45% and 75% depending on the quality of each video) The stacked image was then processed with Focus Magic, Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer

Processing:
The Sun:
1) stacking in AS!2 2.3.0.21alpha;
2) stacked image was used to make two components - one by applying convex curve for proms, and one with concave curve applied - for the disk details;
3) both derivative images were deconvolution in AstraImage 3 PRO (Richardson-Lucy algorithm, Cauchy type PSF, size 0,9 units, 6 iteartions);
4) high-pass filtering, masking, blending and stichingcollage-ing were made in Photoshop.
The Moon:
1) Raw images were converted to linear, brightness adjusted to +1EV, color set to monochrome, the sharpness and NR set to 0 in Canon DPP;
2) Images were pre-cropped to 1024x1024 and exported as 16-bit .TIFFs and stacked in AS!2 - I just discovered that it can consume image sequences. One just need to drag-and-drop them into main screen instead of using Open button :)
3) deconvolution (Richardson-Lucy algorithm, Cauchy type PSF, 0,9 units, 6 iteraion) in AstraImage Pro 3;
4) high-pass filtering and collage-ing were made in Photoshop.

A time-lapse of one of Jupiter's Galilean moons, Io, and its shadow transiting the planet. In this video, you can see the Io and its shadow transit from left to right while Ganymede (on the right) makes its way toward Jupiter. The Great Red Spot also bcomes visible as the planet rotates. We were lucky with the timing because Jupiter set behind houses shortly after the transit. This was shot 9 days before Jupiter reached opposition so the planet appears quite large and very bright. The video playback loops a few times at 18fps and a few times a 6fps.
