2017 Solar Eclipse Astrophotography

The August 21st, 2017 solar eclipse as seen from Elora, Ontario, Canada.  All taken with the P610 superzoom Nikon camera.  The welder's lens I was using as a dimmer fell and broke, so the eclipse got filmed through a shard.  I think it came out better that way.

Super Moon Astro-Photography

It was a cool, clear night when we had 2017's December super moon, so photos and video ensued.  The longest lens I've got is a fixed Nikon Coolpix P610.  It's a whole camera that costs a fraction of the equivalent SLR zoom.  Since it's build to use that lens, even though it doesn't let a lot of light in, it does a lot better than you think it might.  The photo and video below were taken with the P610 on a tripod at about 8pm once the moon had cleared the horizon.
