Managed to take some video of the transit on Sept 1 in reasonable seeing, covering approx 4 hours.
127mm apo at f18, ZWO290mc. Each image a stack of 2500 of 10,000, debayered in PIPP,stacked and sharpened in Registax. Still don't have much success with Autostakkert.

Looks very good mate. I see there's a few planets here. You guys should post in the solar system forums. Unless I'm missing something?

Personally I don't think my images are worthy of the more advanced section down below, one day maybe ! I'm still bemused as to why the images appear so yellowish after I've posted them. On my screen before posting they have a more bluish and creamy colour.

Baloney. There's no such thing as "worth" in a hobby, only what you are happy with. I loathe the mentality of the self proclaimed elite. What a load of bull. We're all learning and having fun. Just remember why you started and how it felt. Post in the solar system section. Easier to find them.

Could be your color profile in the file or screen calibration.

Those who think they know it all stop learning.

I have tried to capture the planets many times and can't even get close you what you are achieving.

Good work Jeff

OK , thanks for your encouragement everyone. Didn't want to move to down below and bring the standard down, there are some fine planetary mages being posted.
I'm mostly happy with what I capture and am happy just to post in the beginners so that others new to the hobby may get an idea of what is possible with simple gear and basic processing.

Truly amateur astro photography

Your photos look great. This is what a real amateur's photos look like. These were taken last night using smart phone in a cradle attached to a 10mm eyepiece that came with the Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P with a moon filter. These are single shots with no software used just what the phone produced. I had to lower iso to 640 and shutter speed to about 1/6 and Jupiter is still to glarey to see the bands. And they are tiny.

As has been said many times about planetary imaging, long focal lengths of
<2 metres and attention to focus are the main starting points. Aperture increases helps with resolution too.
