Some Quick Images of the Moon

 Due to a lot of air turbulence I was not able to get 'lucky' imaging to my liking as far as sharpness is concerned. But I found that if you reduce the image size and then 'sharpen' it produces a pleasing result, if not an detailed account!

These images have been rotated to match the way they look to the human eye when viewing the Moon.

The largest crater is Ptolemaeus, below it is Alphonsus and Arzachel. The large crater to the right is Albategnius.

Next is from the region known as Montes Alpes with the Vallis Alpes rille (looks kind of like a canyon). At the bottom of the image is the crater Cassini and to the left is the lonely mount Piton casting its shadow on the Mare Imbrium.

Finally, just below the area of the previous image we find the large crater Archimedes and below it the range of lunar mountains known as Montes Apenninus. The Apollo 15 lunar mission landed to the right of Archimedes near where the northern part of the mountain range extends.

Equipment used:

Celestron CG mount, Celestron C6 telescope, 2X Barlow, PointGrey Grasshopper grayscale 5 mp camera, captured with Sharpcap and post-processed with AS!3.

Jupiter and Saturn with Celestron C6 and inexpensive astro cam

 The atmosphere here was rather turbulant so I am happy with what details on Jupiter I could pull out with my Celestron C6 telescope and my Astromania SGCMOS Series Telescope CMOS Camera.

I used PIPP and AS!3 software to gather the best frames and stack them. Then I used Luminar 2018 software for the final touches in post-processing.

As you can see the Great Red Spot (GRS) is barely in the image (5 o'clock position on Jupiter's disc).

If you look closely you can see the shadow of Saturn upon the backside rings (left of the planet) and the two main rings as well.
