Sony DCR-SX30 60x zoom - moon moving

Video made with a Sony DCR-SX30, from a tripod.
You can see the moon moving, from the left side of the screen to the right side in about two minutes.

The zoom was something about 50x.
That's because I live close to the moon. ;-)

Can we make this camera a fisheye?

[ljee777]

@sk8orsurf I don't know. Maybe you can look at the website from Sony.

The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical orbit and the moon orbits the earth with the same kind of orbit. Looking down from the north pole, the earth spins in a counterclockwise direction on an imaginary line called its axis once every day. The Moon's has no rotation on its axis hence the same side of the moon is always facing the planet Earth.

@Jellyfishhie Can´t find it...

@des12345lady Many moons in our solar system have the same "locked rotaion". It's caused by the tidal effects. In several billion years, Earth would be locked in the same way to Moon, but the sun probably will explode before it happens...

"Be a little careful . . . the Moon does rotate. If you stood on the Moon, the stars would rise and set, just like they do on Earth, except that a lunar day is a month long, the same as the Moon's orbital period. The Moon rotates at just the right speed so that it always keeps one face pointed toward the Earth, which seems like a pretty big coincidence, doesn't it?"

The Canon Powershot SX30 seems a bit sharper
