Evolution of the prominences along the eastern limb of the Sun in comparison with yesterday's image.
I have pushed the brightness of proms to get the fine things out and... See supplementary material in "comments" section :)
Acquisition: Coronado PST, 1/2 of Meade 2x Barlow lens and TIS DMK23U274, alltogether on tabletop Celestron CG-4 with motor.
Processing: Autostakkert!2, AstraImage PRO 3.0 and Photoshop.
Technical note: if the size of a frame is something like 1080x960, Autostakkert!2 opens the movie but scrambles the contents. I have used ImageJ to open the film and resave it as a sequence of tiffs. Strange, but it comes out flipped in comparison with the image in capturing software.

Jupiter 1st April 2025 (20:03 UT) , average seeing conditions. This image consists of 8 images de rotated in Winjupos, each image used the best 2,000 frames from each 7,000 frame AVI captured in 75 seconds.. Captured using Firecapture V2.7, Processed using Autostakkert V4, Registax V6 and Winjupos. Equipment used, Celestron C14 Edge HD, CGEPRO Mount, ZWO ASI224MC camera, and Carl Zeiss 2X Barlow. No ADC.
I ran afoul of Lightroom's flickr sync when I changed some settings and lost my title and description, but I think I've pieced together most of what was here before:
The dog got me up around 2am and the moon looked great! I stacked about 5000 frames in Autostakkert!2 that were cropped from their video frames using PiPP.

El pasado 8 de abril la luna tenía un toque especial a través del telescopio, en las aguas oscuras más allá del terminador se colaba un leve cabo que se veía evolucionar a lo largo de las horas. Como si de una bajada de marea se tratase.

Recorded a sequence of fifteen 2000 frame SER's roughly 60 seconds apart using my PST mod 90/900 achromat and QHY5III 178M (ROI) between 13:09 and 13:26 UT. Stacking in Autostakkert ,wavelet sharpened in Astrosurface,using Maxim DL4 to create the animation.
for sure, but it seems that I have got some extra grip on solar imaging :)
I was very pleased with the contrast of the chromosphere images produced by PST-DMK23 combo. But... While the proms were visible through the eyepiece, they were hardly (or not at all) detectable on the images. All attempts to drag them out in processing resulted in appearance of otherwise undetectable defects including residual shot noise and smearing/charge leaks, not to mention the artificial feel of the images. What to do?
The obvious feature of Coronado PST is the "sweet spot" of a size about 1 mm in terms of real image size. It is located in the middle of the FoV and becomes overexposed first.
I have thought of it as a problem. But this time I have noticed that if the prominence falls into the sweet spot, it pops out.
The second point is that PST works at its full power at EFL of 800 mm. So here comes obvious conclusion: if I want prominence, I need to place it into the sweet spot.
By using focal extender/Barlow lens the size of the sweet spot on imaging sensor becomes larger, and the image becomes more uniformly illuminated.
The resulting image show both increased contrast of "surface" details and proms on the limb also stand out more prominently :)
Next new step was to apply wavelet sharpening, which I had kept disregarded for a while. Wavelets were applied using AstraImage software. Some practice is required and maybe more frames are needed for better wavelet processing, but wavelets really add to the resulting contrast.
Even more extra contrast can be obtained by high-pass filtering, but it comes with the cost of finest low-contrast details. Here the victim is the long singular spicule in the lower left corner of the image. Now it is barely seen if the image is viewed in darkened room. So high-pass filtering perhaps should be omitted.

TIS DMK23U274 via 2x Barlow lens on Corondo PST.
Stacked 20% of 1200 frames acquired in 1 min. Flatfield was acquired by defocussing the image with the same camera setting.
Stacking and correction in Autostakkert!2. Resulting image was deconvolved (Cauchy type, 0,3 pixels, 9 iterations) and wavelet-treated in AstraImage PRO 3.0. High-pass filtering was done in Photoshop.
Mars, the 4th planet from the Sun. Its days and seasons are similar to those of Earth, and it may have been hospitable for life long ago. Evidence suggests that Mars once had a dense atmosphere with a warm climate and liquid water oceans like Earth. Today, Mars is a barren wasteland and its vast quantities of water have been frozen in time for billions of years. Mars also has two tiny moons which are captured asteroids.
This was the highly anticipated 2020 Mars opposition. Opposition occurs once every 26 months for the red planet. Its surface was entirely obscured by a global dust storm during the 2018 opposition, so I was glad to capture some details this time. The tiny southern ice cap can be seen at the 7 o'clock position. The dark regions are areas swept clean of dust, leaving dark, rocky material exposed.

Recorded a few days after this year's opposition of Jupiter. This video comprises roughly two hours of footage that's been compressed into just a few seconds, and then looped.
Io is the bright dot, followed by its shadow.
It's a black and white video because I was imaging purely in the near IR.

Jupiter 13th May 2018, 23:49 UT. An average of 1,500 frames(total frames captured was 10,000, in 2.5 minutes). Celestron C14 Edge HD, ASI224MC with 2X Barlow.
Taken from Oxfordshire with a Coronado PST with Celestron 3x Barlow on an EQ5 Pro mount with a ZWO ASI120MC camera. 2,000 frame video shot, the best 50% of those frames were stacked in Autostakkert! 3, then processed in Fast Stone, Focus Magic and Lightroom. The colour was removed before processing then false colour added back in as a final step in Photoshop CS2. I find a get a better result that way.
An absolute beast of a prominence on the sun today!

Saturn, the 6th planet, with its magnificent rings and several moons. Saturn has 82 known moons. Its largest moon, Titan, is the only other place in the Solar System with bodies of surface liquid (rivers, lakes, and seas). Saturn's main rings extend from 4,300 to 50,000 miles (7,000 to 80,000 km) away from the equator.
Long exposures were blended with short exposure frames to reveal the moons and some background stars. The dim moon on the far left is Iapetus. The three nearest to Saturn are (left to right) Dione, Rhea, and Tethys. Titan is the brightest of them all, on the far right. Enceladus and Mimas were washed out by the glare of Saturn.

This was taken with a Canon T4i at prime focus on a 90mm Celestron C90 telescope and a photo tripod.
Approximately 30 exposures of Jupiter were stacked and then combined with a photo of the moons.
