Great shot, Bern

This is a great capture of the contrasting elements in many ways!

Thanks John and Akira. Feels good to be appreciated by the more experienced guys

Looking out the window this morning reminds me why I'm now counting the days until I meet up with Paco in sunny Andalusia Snowfall has commenced again for the nth time this spring. Spain is just 6 days ahead !!

I'm also testing how to create panoramas with the Rodenstock TV-Heligon 50/0.75. Here is a first try, 17 frames on the hand-held Z30 in early morning light. So early in fact I didn't have to use the ND8X filter as exposures were within the permissible range of the Z30! There are a few stitching errors and other irregularities I just let slide by as this was more a proof of concept than production work. I hope to refine my approach later when using Paco's Sachtler tripod. Ruth doesn't like spiked tripods on her wooden floors.

Testing out a new toy, 0.6° angle of view, same as a 4000mm lens would have on a full frame camera. 
Part of the setup is 300mm PF+TC-14E+TC-20E III. A neighbor's creative art worked as substitute for a planet.

Pentax Q?

Pentax Q?

A somewhat similar sensor size as the Q. but not the same. The Q would not be able to record full resolution raw video for stacking. The above image is a stack of about 200 video frames.
Answer in the lunar images thread  https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=1867.msg189970#msg189970 , or in this link for those who want to cheat    https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/asi678mc. It is what is designated as an uncooled planetary camera, but with smaller pixels and larger imaging area than most of them.

Here is another 100% crop from the same take of that thread (open in new tab and click for full resolution).

Thank you for the details.  Yes, after I had posted the question, I found your post on the Moon image thread.    I'm looking forward to seeing more of the result of your new dedicated toy!
