    Can we take a minute to appreciate how calm and peaceful your voice is?

    On the Nikon P1000 if you had shot in the 4K/30p mode in stead of 1080/60p and made a few adjustments in the menu to bring down the contrast and image sharpening (or sharpness) the footage would have come out a lot nicer with less stair-stepping and other aliasing artifacts.

    Thanks for the 58% moon tour, love the stacked photo at the end. Have a nice week.
  • @ve2ogh
    At the same time you were filming your video I was in western Quebec looking at the moon with my telescope. Half moon is always my favorite phase to look at it. Thanks for your good work.
  • @jonasardlon1753
    Thank you so much again! Way to start the week! Have a good one DJ! Much love!
  • All in all very beautiful shot of the moon. You know your equipment well but I don’t see any lines & colors that are “that off.” You always have the best footage J. You and the birdies are just lovely! God bless you. 💖 Have a great week.
  • @AmitKumar-xw5gp
    Such a calming voice... I suppose that even if there wasn't a video going along, you voice itself is captivating enough to listen to the whole thing..
  • @user-yc2kd2op2g
    The video and your voice is very calming as always. I'm soooo relaxed right now. Thank you so much Ma'am.
  • This was therapeutic for me, beautiful film and voice, thank you and peace from Morocco!
  • @PhuketWord
    Thank you. Very handy to see the comparisons and lovely to hear your commentary.
  • @Sitarow
    Thank you for sharing your setup with us. I had something similar when I was doing the 2017 August solar eclipse. The Nikon it was helpful with the reach and lightweight. The cannon I used a 400 MM two lens on a crop sensor. But seeing how you use the teleconverters and how it turned out it's pretty nice results.
  • @hondorockz
    I wonder about the moon every once and a while ever since I've become a subscriber to your channel, and I mean that in a good way, thank you so much Jayling 😀
  • @lynnbennett6848
    I would sell a kidney for either of these amazing cameras! Thank you for sharing such amazing footage.
  • Wow funtastic... First time in your channel... Your presentation is awesome!!!! Thanks for such a detailed video... Going to browse your other works....
  • @Ambienfinity
    You're too modest. "Pretty good, and okay?" Absolutely brilliant detail, amazing.
  • @kiisseli1337
    You got surprisingly close with that 200mm lens, considering we have noticed in digital camera professional forums that Nikon P1000 moon detail is hard to beat with any consumer interchangeable camera lens. My 600mm with quality teleconverters can't beat P1000. Sony RX10 IV (600mm equivalent) can't beat it, P1000 wins even with zooming only to 1200mm out of it's 3000mm potential. I don't think any <10000€ lens can beat P1000.
  • @yujii2667
    Well That is incredible! Your voice is so relaxing!Keep up the nice and good work!👍
  • it's so strange seeing the moon from a northern hemisphere perspective!! here in Australia the big group of craters near the terminator line is always at the top!!
  • @airyamal
    Thank you very much for your work, thanks to your video, I decided which camera to take for astronomical observations! You are great, your videos are very good!
