What settings would I have to have my nikon p520 on to get good shots of the moon?

Try various settings/use a good tri-pod and take the photos at dusk when there is less contrast. worked for me on auto mode.

Agreed that a tripod is essential for clear nightime pictures. I got some very good moon photos using Shutter Priority mode. The Night Landscape mode has also worked very well for nighttime shots.

First off I would make sure to use a tripod. I would then use the night landscape or the even the fireworks setting for a longer exposure.

The best way to get good shots of the moon is with manual focus. You can also try with night landscape option.

I have used two. I shot the moon using Auto Mode, with full zoom. The camera adjusts everything for you, and the image comes out nice and crisp. Also shot the moon using the High-Contrast Monochrome, placing the dial disk on Effects. Gives you a different, black and white image of the moon which is also nice.

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

Hello Kamal, You will first need a Nikon t-ring and Celestron sells one and the part number is 93402. You will then need to purchase the Celestron Edge 8 t-adapter 93644. With this combo you can shoot the moon and do some short exposures of bright deep sky objects. For more serious work in photographing the deep sky you will want to purchase an autoguider and a separate guidescope and dovetail plate to work with this telescope. The Celestron part numbers are as follows: 94216, and 52309, as well as 93713. You will probably have to add an extra counterweight if you go that route and that is part number 94203. For planetary photography I would recommend Televue's 4x Powermate part number PMT-4201 along with their t-ring adapter for that amplifier which is part number PTR-4201. You will of coarse need the Nikon t-ring that I mentioned before to make it work with your camera. I hope that this was helpful! Best, Dave High Point Scientific

Yes its ideal for landscapes because of its wide angle and moderate distortion the f/ 2.8 aperture is good for low light but if you want everything in the foreground and background sharp you'll want to stop it down. If thats the case youll need a tripod so you can shoot at a low ISO and keep ur noise minimal. Also cheaper lenses can do this, you are mostly paying for the 2.8 aperture with this lens. Also if you want to shoot the moon you might wana zoom in so there are other good options.

It can be set either apiture or shutter priority. It has settings for night shots, and just about any thing you need.

The only type of photography recommended for this telescope is just attaching a simple point and shoot camera or smartphone using the right bracket for simple snapshots of the moon or planets. It's not recommended for any kind of serious astrophotography, but lunar snapshots can look nice.

You can change all the settings I have this camera love it wish I know how to take better night shots

ABSOLUTELY! Put the camera in total manual mode and make all your own settings. If you are going to do moon shots you should you the timer to release the shutter so you don't move the camera--alternative being to use remote control with the PlayMemories app.

I am taking astrophotographs with this telescope using a Canon EOS REBEl 2Ti coupled to the eyepiece focus. I was able to adjust the balancing of the telescope of the telescope with the camera attached. I so far only taken pictures of the moon because I am in a light polluted area. I am waiting to take the telescope to a dark sky area so a can try photographing deep sky objects. I posted one of my best photographs of the moon on my facebook page if you like to see what the Powerseeker can do.

It's a lens, not a camera. I bought it specifically for taking photos of the moon and I haven't had any issues with that. You will need to use a tripod when using this lens. It takes a little getting used to, but it's not a particularly steep learning curve.

Katherine: We got this lens for my son who loves to take scenic pictures and pictures of the moon at night. He loves it especially for the moon shots. He also uses it during whale season here in Hawaii and has gotten actual pictures of the whales way out. It is a clumsy lens to work with but once you get use to it it works.

Use the Tv (shutter priority) mode and select the appropriate speed. The camera will pick the right apperature setting for correct exposure. If necessary (insuffcient light), increase the ISO.

No problem at all. This lens is a quality piece of glass. I took pictures of the moon hand held and they turned out great. On a tripod they would be even better. Hope this helps.

There is no motor mount, so long exposure photography won't work with this telescope. You can buy lens adapters to align your SLR to the eye piece. I have had great success taking pictures of the Moon by simply holding my iPhone camera on the eye piece of the telescope. Here's an example: http://pabstphoto.smugmug.com/Public-Gallery/i-CHhMLpv/0/L/Full%20Moon-L.jpg

It depends on how steady you keep the camera while taking the pciture. The zoom is good but not good enough to show the moon's surface detail.

No Problem The only thing you would need is a good tripod. I find that holding the 8250 Nikon by hand during the day looking at wild animals is one thing but at night looking at the moon or stars its a lot harder to keep steady. w

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.
