It's incredible how good is the result on Saturn after processing a 2160p manual mode video taken with the Nikon Coolpix P1000 ! FL 3000 mm + 2x digital dynamic fine zoom, cropped. All details and more to come ... http://sweiller.free.fr/COOLPIX-P1000/P1000.htm

ditch the 2x digital zoom, and attach a 2x to the front threads to enable a real 6000mm. It is an amazing camera and i purchased one myself, but digital zoom is garbage.

Would be glad to do so and show here even better pictures but did not find a suitable and the same time high resolution 2x tele-extender to fit the P1000 !
If you can help find one, please click Contact at the bottom of my site front page http://sweiller.free.fr/ and tell me !

Amazing shot Sylvain, do you have by any chance a single shot/frame of Saturn with this camera. Would love to see what camera can do before any image processing takes place. Thx a lot.

It looks like the P1000 does not like at all my 1.5x 42 mm tele-extender !
Even with manual focus (auto does NOT work in this setup) the result is poor, kind of foggy ...
My 1.5x extender gives great images when put on my Fujifilm HS10, even better than without, then its quality is very good. I guess one should try to find a larger diameter extender.

Those are excellent single frames Sylvain, I dont get much better shots with an 80mm doublet and a Sony mirrorless camera. This Nikon is a very decent astronomy camera. Thx for sharing.
