Goompa Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Oops , iso was up at 800 , no I did not apply sharpen to the image that's what has me confused , I used the auto tone in elements and got to the best , well what I thought viewable image . I may have to go as manual a possible to get any descent image out of this camera , still trying ..... edit , not using LR for editing Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to go as manual a possible to get any descent image out of this camera , still trying ..... And the sensor size is 1/2.3 in. which is 6.17mm wide compared to a m4/3 or APS-C at 17.3mm and 22.2mm respectively so very important to keep the ISO at minimum as the sensor pixel size is small. The moon, even at half should still give you a pretty fast shutter speed at lowest ISO. Also, aperture range through zoom appears to be f/2.8 to f/6.5 which is pretty fast for a zoom that long. If not using a tripod, place the side of the camera against a post or on top of a ledge to help stabilize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhitchens Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 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 . You could do some post processing and remove the noise, a plugin to remove the noise and then a mask to correct detail etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goompa Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks heaps for the info , just I cannot get my head around the system I have now I would like to start using LR so that everything would be flowing a lot easier , seems I have so much to learn , and with the added stress of trying to find a planet in the Solar System that apparently is 11deg above the horizon ( South ) ? I thought about Topaz de-noise , but I mainly shoot RAW and adapt to the editing in PS Editor , so another format would send me even more nutbag ! The P900 only shoots Jpeg , so I have to get around that one without losing too much data from transferring images Many thanks for going to the trouble of trying to sort out that image , and you did a splendid job as well Tomorrow I am going on a photo shoot at a car show , already got most of the gear in the bag , just wish I had of purchased that 17-40 L f4 Still onward and upward .....

Goompa Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yes , it is in the South ... well South east to be a little more precise and at an elevation of around 20deg. Darn just got it starting to happen and the Batt mot laew ! I never learned so much about the cosmos before the last 2 days , still I am going to give this my best shot ! I need to figure out a remote release or a timer to get a stable image , the sky is clear for the next few days , been toying with exposure as well. This camera does not like to be forced into anything too much on manual settings either , so I have to use user settings , it just will not max zoom on manual ! Saturn : First image at optical zoom , 2nd with digital zoom , ok not great but give an old bugger a bit of time , I only just learned today that the moon is over Jupiter 1 second @ 6.5 and 1600 iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 ^ Saturn - notoriously difficult with a bridge cam . . . i've tried many times. It is possible though to get reasonable images (disk & rings) but you need multiple stacked images at the right exposure for best results. not my images . . . but this is the best kind of shot likely from any bridge cam: i might try again now that the planet is at opposition.

Gsxrnz Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Since it was Wisakha Bucha Day yesterday, I thought I'd take a moon shot. Not the greatest as I only took a minute to set it up in my front yard and the mossies were having a go at me big time. I used too high an ISO so might try again with 100 another evening.

Goshawk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 is your Moon half empty, or half full ? Incredible. Would love to see the exif data can't remember to be honest . . . i take so many of these shots, i usually discard them after i'm done with them, but it was most likely about 1/160s - f6.5 - iso 80. Almost certainly shot at dusk, not in the night - don't let the blackness fool ya. (always better in my experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
