That’s pretty good. It’s too bad you couldn’t get the earth to stop turning. When I was a kid I taped an Instamatic to a binocular eyepiece and used the other for aiming at a lunar eclipse. It worked.
There are people who hand hold telescopes and get pictures of satellites. They’ve even been able to image spacewalkers. The key is to take hundreds of pictures and keep the few good ones.
That’s pretty cool. My video camera has a 40 x optical zoom on it, but you need a tripod to hold it steady, and when I had to move it to catch up with the moon I would lose it at times.
On a clear summer day I have been able to get so close that I can see the canyons on the moon. However, as I said, on tiny bump and all of a sudden I’m focusing on a star out in the galaxy someplace.
The tripod I have is not the best either. So when I am extremely focused in it seems that if someone walks by it shakes which causes it to lose what i am focused on. LOL
As I told GJMY, one time I zoomed in on the hairs on a bees legs from about 10 feet away or more. It was on a flower and just the slightest move made it difficult to keep focused. It’s an awesome camera, but I seldom find things I can film when zooming in due to the unsteadiness of my hands or the old tripod I have that causes problems.
