Title: Nikon P900 images on the Moon
Post by: doug on Mar 28, 2020, 10:38:44
     Thought I would have a go ... Moon with Mare Crisium plus adjacent craters, and a shot of M42. And the Earthlight. All taken with my Nikon P900. . You can just about make out the Trapezium in the centre of the Orion nebula ..... :roll:

Well done Doug, were you using a tripod or hand held?

If hand held exceptionally good.

     Camera on a tripod, but exposure and the big zoom blurred the images
