This is a combination of raw video and individual images processed from video. An 11" amateur telescope was used along with a B&W CCD video camera. The video feed was captured on a Sony miniDV Camcorder. Because video has a lot a "noise", image processing is typically done by stacking multiple frames on top of each other. As you can see from the raw video, the quality of each frame can vary considerably. The best individual frames are selected and then stacked. Some of the larger images are mosaics of multiple images stitched together. An image of Saturn going behind the moon, which is included here, is an opportunity that does not come along very often. There images were taken in 2001 and 2002.
