tormok Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Didn't know there would be a lunar eclipse, but one of our dogs was kind enough to alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Y'all are really lucky. I didn't get squat because since Thursday afternoon we're under intermittent (during the day) clouds while at night it's all clouded over. Good stuff SJ, Pekka & Tormok.

Goompa Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I just went Geek to the first degree and acquired a Nikon P900 today ,as soon as I work it all out and set up a decent tripod configuration I am going to the moon ! Cam seems ok , it is not a wiz-bang unit really . If you have been following the reviews I think that they are a little sugar coated tbh , just a plastic telescope imo. Still onward and upward I guess , I wonder what else this telescopic image taking machine is capable of ... See you on the dark side ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goompa Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks Fiddlesticks , Being a big hollow piece of plastic this camera is in dire need of stabilisation ! I have tried to take a few shots of the full moon today but the pod I am using is light , the ground vibrations are extreme to say the least as these are amplified through the unit , I have a 9kg video fluid head tripod to give it a go , but it seems overkill ... I am sure I will have to use remote fire to at least bet a sharp jpeg , so look out evilbay tm . Will have to put my money were my mouth is I guess and send an image at least , wish me luck , be back soon with an out of focus blur .

Tywais Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 .. I am sure I will have to use remote fire to at least bet a sharp jpeg , so look out evilbay tm . If you have a smart device such as Android phone/tablet or iPhone/iPad it looks like you can remotely control it via WiFi so no need to buy anything. In addition, the camera's Wi-Fi® button makes Wi-Fi® connection even easier when smart devices not equipped with NFC are used. Smart devices can also be used to take pictures remotely, zoom in or out, and enable the self-timer, capabilities that are convenient when taking group photos in which the user is included.

Goompa Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks Tywais I have checked it all out , but maybe I have overlooked a lot of info , being now hands on with this plastic hollow jpeg creating machine I can tell you honestly .... It is just a consumer item , well at the long end I guess , and from my pov , still it is going to be a good bit of fun . I have to take this to the extremes before I can it though . I am impressed atm , but time will tell . I don't have smart phone nor tablet connectivity but I do think a remote will be advantageous in the long run , the cam seems ok with IQ I am impressed at the short end with the 2.8 and I have to try and figure out the menu to get the largest jpeg as well , I have time .... Moon in some sort of focus At the long end , forgive the blur , damn ground movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 just a plastic telescope imo. Goomps, don't underestimate plastic . . . it can be fantastic. I shot this with the plastic fantastic Canon equivalent. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/535027-challenge-moon-shot/?p=9084934 Tripod essential & for best results avoid the full moon.

Goompa Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Wow , would be fantastic to get that sort of image , well I suppose I just got 15 shots off today , I have time to learn . Maybe go down to the beach tomorrow Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goompa Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Well I chugged up the tripod from the video unit and whopped on 900 odd grams of hubble plastic onto the top of it , screwed it together and aimed it at the big round nightlight in the sky . It is a shame that this camera only captures jpeg , as I am sure I may have done a better job with the final output. There is a lot of light pollution in my area , so not easy to pinpoint stars . keep trying I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goompa Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This image taken today with a Nikon P900 and a CP , I still am having a lot of noise issues with this camera / lens . Shame it only processes JPEG images . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ^ tip . . . if your're sharpening anything in LR, after doing so mask it so that only the main parts of the image are affected. The background will then be unaffected & not sharpened . . . which introduces noise otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
