Well hello there, here we are on Sunday June 28 2020 at 8:40 p.m. up here in
Northeastern Ohio, and that's in the United States of America for those who
don't know, and up here in our south southwest sky, real high up there, we have
a 57% lit moon up there according to the SkySafari Pro app, and tonight we're
testing out the Nikon P1000 which I've been having problems with and I'm not
sure but it might be working okay tonight, it wasn't earlier today and it
wasn't the other day but, let me shut that information off, and we're out here near
about the same time we were last night
and so far the moon looks like it's coming in pretty well, let me see where we're
at here. I think this is about as far as we can go, three thousand times two on the
setup we had last night
yeah so, so far it looks pretty good but let's go in all the way
yeah, those craters are coming out pretty nice
okay so we'll stroll around a bit
yeah it does look okay but there's still some issues here with it, the colors it's
producing is not, they're just way off the scale, and there's been some digital
lines too that have become very prominent
now the focus issue that I was having
seems to be okay now but even in the daytime I can see those digital lines
hmm, I had been noticing them even before that battery exhaustion fiasco happened
but yeah it's looking okay, let me get it to a size so I can get a clip of it
okay so there we go, as we can see the clouds rolling over top of it
gosh there's motorbikes all around me no matter what time of day, but yeah I don't
know what's up with the colors too on the, on this camera, they've just gotten worse
especially the color blue and they just seem to be so exaggerated here on the P1000
but again I think it's all a part of the same problems I'm having with it
from the focus issues to the digital lines to the colors to uh - oh yeah I have a
lot of audio problems with it, on most videos I can't use the audio and I have
to use the audio from the little recorder here, I've been having that
problem for poof, gosh months now and it's just gotten worse and worse
but still it's a nifty camera
when it works
okay so let's wrap that up, and I might grab the other camera just
to use as a reference, all right there we go, I'm gonna go in and grab the other
camera, I'll be right back, bye now
okay and there we go we're back out with the
other setup of the Canon and the two teleconverters, and we lose a lot of
stops of light, four stops of light, so it makes it F/11, this F 2.8 lens
and that's as far as we can go in with this camera by using that 10x focusing
zoom, and it's coming out okay, still not as good as I would like but
we'll take a stroll around this one, get up to our light beam area
and I'll tell you what it's really hard to focus with this uh setup
just the slightest touch of the focus ring and boy
Wow look at that bunch of craters upon craters there in that one area, hmpf
now about the only other thing I can do is
in Final Cut Pro to go in any further I could do a crop zoom, we might well give
it a shot
but I'm pretty happy with how well the moon has been coming out this time of day
in a blue sky
all right, let me get a clip of that one, I'll be right back
all right, so we'll try to do some stacking in that Lynkeos app for a Mac, I was really happy
with how well the stacking came out last night with this setup, but anyway that's
a good enough look there, and so far, at least the Nikon is working, may not be at
its peak but it's working
and this Canon setup it's heavy but it's doable so that's cool
anyway it's now 9:01 p.m. up here
so y'all take care, bye from Ohio - says Jayling and the Ohio birdies
