Shoot the Moon, Canon SX30is

So, I've seen other Moon shots with the SX30 and had to do it myself.
Crappy tripod, cold night, urban backyard, Auto setting, everything that would make this a bad shot. Got out, set up, point, record, zoom, zoom, zoom, stop recording, got out of the cold. Yet it turned out pretty good.

From original .MOV file, Auto settings, 0x - 35x zoom + 4x digital
Audioswap with YT "Clair de Lune", 'cause it just worked.

What was that light that flew in and out around 1:57 mins?

@Darathy6661 I'm not sure what you've seen.

This video was uploaded directly from the original unedited recording. From about 1:39 to about 1:45 as I zoom out and in again you can see Jupiter below and to the left as a white speck. But around 1:57, plus and minus a few frames, I didn't see a light fly in or out, the Moon just comes back into focus.

Wait a minnute you cant fool me that is leechester white!

Please do a sunset preferably over water, The light usually streaks in a line with mine,,,

I bet of you iused power director and saved it as a 2000 wmv that would be good, a bit big but still ok for u tube

Sunset over Lake Michigan from the Chicago side is problematic. Maybe I'l do a sunrise and run it backwards.

Shooting into a lightsource with a digital camera seems to always make those streaks. I believe that it is inherent to the CCD chip. If anyone has a better explaination, or a way to stop the streaks, let me know.

When it is zoomed out (moon becomes small) you can see Jupiter below and to the left.

Why do SX30 owners shoot the Moon?

Because they can.

Wow, I'm def getting this camera!

[walkertongdee]

Since this guy got the new camera he hasn't gotten much use of it...

I heard it was because of the small lens, but that was from your brother.
