Taken from Oxfordshire UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope, Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. A 1,000 frame video was captured with SharpCap and the best 50% of the frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 4. Processing was done with Focus Magic, Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. In step one of the processing I removed all of the colour, processed the image in monochrome then added false colour back in at the end using Photoshop CS2.

Jupiter and it's four largest moons. Callisto and Ganymede are up top. Io is just above Jupiter and Europa is at the bottom.
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.

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.

Description - Pico Mons (L23) and Plato Crater with it's craterlets (L83) are 2 of the lunar 100 objects I wished to pull out. In my image above, Pico Mons can be seen to the South of Plato crater which is the left on this image. The craterlets inside Plato can just be seen and may take more data to stand out clearly.
The night of the 27th December had much better seeing than my previous nights imaging on 9th December. I also stumbled across an article written by the author of AutoStakkert 3 that I use to align and stack the image. This allowed me to better handle the data and produce a better image to then sharpen. The details above are a testament to my learning and perseverance, from the mottled texture of the mare through to the rile running East (toward the bottom) of Plato.

You can also see the Alpine Valley known as L19 to the East (bottom) with mountains either side. L26 is Mare Frigoris to the North (right) of Plato.
Crater W. Bond can be seen to the North East of Plato (4 o'clock) and is a slightly larger crater filled with lava and a bright tiny crater within it at its eastern (bottom) edge.
Lunar 100 Reference - L23 Pico Mons and Craterlets in Plato. L23 is described as an isolated Imbrium basin-ring fragment. In actuality it is a mountain. L83 refers to to a handful of crater pits at limits of detection. L19 Alpine Valley with its Lunar graben. Grabens are tectonic features that form under extensional stresses. Structurally, they are composed of two normal faults, with a down-dropped block between them. Most grabens are found within the lunar maria near the edges of large impact basins. L26 Mare Frigoris - arcuate mare of uncertain origin. L76 W. Bond crater Large crater degraded by Imbrium ejecta (Info from Atlun for Mac and Wikipedia).

This spectacular view caught my eye last night while scanning along the waning terminator,which extends perfectly across these 4 substantial craters and enhances their depth. Furnerius Crater has a diameter of 77.6 miles and is 2 miles deep. Petavius Crater, with the last tendrils of lunar daylight revealing it's dynamic interior, has a diameter of 110 miles and 2.1 miles deep. Vendelinus has a diameter of 91.3 miles and 1.6 miles deep. Langrenus has a diameter of 82 miles and also 2.1 miles deep.
This is a two panel mosaic processed with Autostakkert 2 and was a first attempt at using some different filtering techniques using Photoshop CC 2014, brought to my attention by Robert Reeves.

The Buck Supermoon is the first of four Supermoons in 2023. It is called the Buck Moon because it gets its name from the Algonquin tribes of the northeast, who gave it the name to reflect the time of year when male deer begin to grow their antlers. The Buck Moon will be 14,000 miles closer to Earth than a typical full moon event, making it appear about 7% larger and about 15% brighter than a typical full moon. The Buck Moon will rise on Monday, July 3, 2023, and reach peak illumination at 7:39 a.m. Eastern Time. It will appear full for the first part of the week. To viewers, supermoons appear to be the biggest and brightest full moons of the year. The other three supermoons in 2023 will occur on August 1, August 30, and September 29.
2000 images taken between 1:26 – 2:24 AM. RAW images were processed and cropped in Adobe Lightroom Classic, exported as TIFF, aligned and stacked 75% (1500) in AutoStakkert!, and processed in PixInsight with BlurXTerminator and LocalHistogramEqualization. Imported the processed stack to Lightroom Classic for White point, Black point, Curves, and crop.

Several point of interest in this field of view; Ramsden crater.
can be seen at the bottom center of this image with it's interior in darkness and just the rim of
the 15.5 mile (25km) diameter crater rim illuminated. Ramsden A is on the southeast rim and is 3.1 miles (5km) in diameter.
The crater lies across Rimae Ramsden, a rille system that spans an area over 80 miles (130 km) across,
sprawling over the western section of Palus Epidemiarum (latin for Marsh of Epidemics).
The larger lava filled stadium-like feature to the east of Ramsden is Capuanus and is 37.2 (60km) in diameter.
Not to be confused with Campanus crater 30 miles (48 km) in diameter, and it's close neighbor Mercator 29 miles (47 km) in diameter,
that pair of craters near the right center . On the right center of the image, you can see the lava-filled Kies crater, that looks
like it has a paint drip, and to the 8 o'clock position from Kies see the lunar dome structure designated Kies Pi (π) and the tiny
volcanic crater on it's top.
The unmistakable grooves that extend up/down in the center of the image are Rimae Hippalus, and from left to right are named by
the IAU with their Roman numeral designation as I, II, and III. This family of three prominent rilles is concentric to
the Humorum Basin and formed by bending of the crust as the center of the basin subsided due to the weight of the Humorum lavas.
Rille I extends through the lave-filled remnants of Hippalus crater (36 miles / 58km diameter).
That impact crater in the upper right of the image is Bullialdus, it's diameter of 39 miles (61km) boasts a central peak
and terraced walls, and is located in the western part of the Mare Nubium.
