Solar & Lunar

Hi All
I have been taking some interest in all the images that are posted on here and watching every bodies journeys in astrophotography. It is heartening to see so many people enjoying their pastime.
So, I'd thought I'd share a few more of mine that I captured on Friday, a mixed bag of solar , lunar and Jupiter. the run of clear ( mostly ) weather here on the coast is starting to get to me , need some sleep. Almost wish for a cloudy night or two.
Hope someone enjoys them.

I should add that the moon shot of Plato, Archimedes etc was taken a few days earlier and the Jupiter is of a shadow transit of Europa from Friday.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, the reason to post the photos is the same as I've said previously. You don't need top line telescopes etc, to get acceptable images, though obviously not much wrong with the gear that was used. The moon and Jupiter were taken with with an 150mm Saxon Newtonian on an old EQ6, the camera is an ZWO 290mc. The run of clear nights & days with some good seeing rally helps.
When I look at the Aristarchus shot again, it does give an impression of flying over the lunar surface, similar to movies taken by probes in lunar orbit. Should add that I've been pleased with the results from some of the imaging sessions lately, that's why I thought they may be worth sharing.
