croco- tanks for the moon shot and for checking on the video capabilities of the Nikon P900. HD video -- 1920 x 1080 - up to 60 fps is fine for me and would put it on the "getting" list. strange that they didn't list it on the amazon features page for the cam. it looks like your NS shot is rotated about 15-20 degrees from the NC shot of ron's but it's probably just a different camera angle or time of evening. yours is sharper but compared to you, ron and i are rank amateurs at night sky/moon shooting... and you mentioned that you had a very clear sky. (ron's was better than any i've ever shot.) do you have a camera that will shoot time lapses? (like of the night sky or a work project?) what do you use... or what WOULD you use if you were to get one in the amateur price range? tanks for sharing the story of your early introduction to looking through an observatory telescope. i've never done that - but, of course i've seen many photos from telescopes. i had a nightmare about jupiter appearing in the night sky about ten times larger than the full moon when i was about 5 years old... does that count? <g> any progress on getting a drone for your forest-watch group? -amateur polvie

An characteristic of photos here is that the camera's are looking out, and into the universe close and far. Around today's world when not quarantined, it feels like 99% of the still photos being shot are selfies. Young beautiful people posing themselves with a sideways peace sign. Generation gap? Are we artifacts, from the viewfinder camera age before the selfie button? Remember big reflex cameras? Or the "sportsfinders" on the Nikon F's?
