I was out before sunrise this morning and saw the bright moon overhead. I just had to go back inside to grab my new Nikon P1000 camera and try taking a few pictures. It is amazing what you can see with a 3000mm lens. I couldn't even zoom in all the way and still get the whole moon in the frame!
At 2500mm zoom I could fit the whole moon in the frame
At 3000mm the moon doesn't fit within the frame of the photo!
6000mm digital zoom gets even closer but image quality suffers
I want to try getting pictures of the planets on another clear night. I am going to have fun with this camera!
