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.

I was not familiar with Condor Airlines so I did a bit of research. Condor was founded in 1956 in Germany. According to it’s website, it’s Germany’s “most popular leisure airline”. The unique strips livery was introduced in 2022 to “Introduce a new brand identity: Inspired by parasols, bath towels and beach chairs, Condor now wears stripes in five colors. This illustrates the development from a leisure airline to a unique and unmistakable vacation brand.” The green and white livery in the photo I captured is their Island color theme.

- After a firmware update, the eye sensor sometimes would not function and the viewfinder would not turn on.
- The “i” menu would sometimes remain in the viewfinder when it was looked through after the shutter-release button was pressed halfway to exit the “i” menu viewed in the monitor.
