Super Blue Moon with the Nikon Z7II and The Nikon NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S Lens
Super Blue Moon with the Nikon Z7II and The Nikon NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S Lens

It was a clear morning in Boise Idaho, perfect weather to observe the recent blue moon.

Normally, I would use the Nikon COOLPIX P950 camera but at the last minute, chose to use one of my full frame Nikon's instead.

Originally, I was going to use the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens but to keep the weight as low as possible, I store that lens without the tripod collar. I learned without the collar, there is no tripod mount on the lens body and since the moon would be setting soon, I didn’t have the time to mount the collar in time.

So, I ended up using the Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lens instead. I mounted the lens to the Z7II along with the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x on my new Manfrotto Be Free Advance tripod along with up scaling with Topaz Photo AI created the resulting image.

Overall, I’m pleased with the results. Stay tune for reviews of all the mentioned equipment.
