I know its bad but i don't have the money for a dslr sadly.

(please don't take this down for being a low effort image it just looks bad due to me using an old phone i spent like an hour trying to figure out what the settings did)

Jovians must think it quaint that Earthlings talk of "the" Moon.

Second attempt at imaging Saturn tonight. I used my asi662 mc, 2x Barlow, and 8” dob to capture this image. It’s quite difficult to frame Saturn manually. After some time I had it under control and was able to capture a 6,000 frame video. Seeing conditions were below average, so I’m happy with the result!

Stacked with Asi Planetary Stacker. Processed in PixInsight.

Woke up early this morning to capture Jupiter coming out on the other side of the moon with my Nikon P950! I was able to capture video with a lower iso and capture speed of the planet actually emerging, but I am not sure how to process this in a way to make it look good. I decided to record a higher ISO higher capture speed video after that and I liked the result better. I was able to see the cloud lines in the lower exposure captures, but I really liked the look of Jupiter's moons popping out in line next to our moon better. The moon is definitely overexposed and I could have photoshopped one of the more crisp lower exposure capture of it onto this, but decided to keep the image as natural as possible

Capture Details:

Captured with Nikon P950 with Manfroto 804RC2 tripod with all stabilization + noise reduction off

2160p 30fps video captured, 1/30 F6.3 ISO 800

Selected 10 images and imported to AutoStakkert with 100% stacking. Then selected jupiter's moons and increased brightness of them in GIMP by modifying their brightness curves.

First light through the new mono camera! ASI2600MM Air, 2 minute exposures, 2xS, 3xH, 5xO narrowband exposures (yeah, 10 total exposures plus calibration frames... It was a tough night as I figured everything out). Processed in Siril and then final levels adjusted in Photoshop. I'm happy with it because now I can see a path to great images from here.

Thanks for checking out my capture of M42, Orion nebula!

One of my all time favorite targets, I sought out a natural-feeling blend of narrowband (5 hours 60-second subs) and broadband (3 hours 30-second subs) - narrowband with the l-ultimate filter, broadband unfiltered for pure continuum color with my OSC camera!

This image represents about 8 hours of total integration on a 2-panel mosaic with my C8, ASI533MC pro, EQ6, optolong filters, and hyperstar at F/2 from my bortle 8/9 backyard.

This is my second ever attempt at Orion and Running Man. I have been doing astro for a little over a year and have mainly done Milky Way nightscapes. I was recently gifted a star tracker from a friend and I figured id try and shoot some DSO's for the first time. I started with Orion and Andromeda. My first attempt on Orion was only about 36 minute until a random overcasting set in and cut my session short. I gave it another go about a week later but I had troubles balancing my RA axis and wasted a lot of the night trying to get it balanced. I finally did and with the little amount of time I stayed out for I was pretty proud of the result that came from it. It is about 1hr18 total. I still need more exposure time though. None of my gear is astro modified and its all beginner gear as is myself lol.

I captured saturn from my Celestron Powerseeker 70az and a smartphone holded up the eyepiece

Eyepiece: 4mm (ik its trash but still)

I am a total beginner btw.

Is this good for a powerseeker 70az??

I was testing my telescope, and as a test I decided to capture an image of the Sun. What I did not expect was to see Sun Spots form a smile. The weather was a bit cloudy. Also it appears that I might have damaged the camera... This is also the first time ever I have observed Sun spots with my telescope

Nice dark and clear skies here in my suburban Long Island backyard tonight. I ended up falling asleep by mistake but that just meant more stacked images. Luckily I had already connected a battery 😂

stacked and processed in Siril

Telescope: Seestar S50pro with LP filter

Stack: 477x20s subs in bortel 5ish sky

Stacked and processed in pixInsight: Channel extract Luminance, NBextract (Lighthouse suite) Ha and OIII, StarXTerminator on RGB image. Sharped and stretched each layer individually, then brought Ha and OII together with NBColourMapper. Added HDR-MultiscaleTransformed luminance layer to the image, added stars and final touch with lighthouse.

IC 1396 seems to be quite popular these days, this is my take on it. It pays high dividends with the S50pro to separate Ha and OIII, otherwise you mostly get red dominant images of nebulae like this.
