My daughter has the L830 and loves taking pictures of the moon at night. Is there anything else she would need to use this kit or is everything there?

I think its pretty much everything in there you shouldn't buy anything else. but you can still buy some other lens if you want it just be sure the size of the lens.

It's all there. Not sure how any of it will help with the moon, however. All of it attaches around the lens on the camera with a set screw. Get her a small tripod.

Walmart has 1 for under 50 bucks. EBay has millions for less. It's just a standard camera mount. My Walmart generic one is fine and has tilt and pan which helps. The Moon is going to seem like it's blazing across the sky with the Skymaster! Very cool. Haven't seen any aliens yet, maybe some on the beach though. Scary stuff on the beach, better to keep your sees to the sky!

Not unless you are taking the picture with the aid of a telescope. The moon will only take up a tiny part of the picture, even cropped in, your image may suffer from the ISO you will need to use to get the detail in the darkness. To get clear shots of the moon, you would need a SLR with a super telephoto lens.

I have used two. I shot the moon using Auto Mode, with full zoom. The camera adjusts everything for you, and the image comes out nice and crisp. Also shot the moon using the High-Contrast Monochrome, placing the dial disk on Effects. Gives you a different, black and white image of the moon which is also nice.

Yes! All of the above...this is a great kit for the beginner. I have taken over 5000+ shots of my 10 mth old daughter and I am still amazed by the quality of this DSLR,granted I am an amateur. I would recommend it for sure!

I would assume they are doing terrestrial shots as I can't imagine using this for DSOs (deep space objects). The Moon might be a viable target with this scope and camera. You would remove the diagonal. At this point you need an adaptor to mount the camera to the back of the refractor. Focusing might be a challenge at first but is doable. Sometimes you may need a longer or shorter adaptor to allow the image to project onto the focal plane of the camera chip. Problems: balancing the scope with the extra weight, finding a T adaptor for your camera if it isn't one of the names like Cannon, Nikon (you may have to do a lot of fitment), vibration due to the light weight and strength of the setup. It would probably be good for a fun startup in astrophotography but would require an upgrade to a larger and more substantial scope/mount/tripod to get satisfying results. Hope that helps. WEK.

It depends on how steady you keep the camera while taking the pciture. The zoom is good but not good enough to show the moon's surface detail.

No this camera does not have moon phase and temperature, just the time and date, I think its a good camera for the "price"!

Most modern cameras use SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. The L830 is one of these.

Yes, it is great for night stars shots, especially Milky way and Northern light shots. The lens is sharp to the corner even at F/2.8. It is better to use the LCD screen of the camera to focus, using only infinity may not be the sharpest.

this is a wonderful camera, & if you are a real photo buff--I would buy the camera with one lens, & purchase another longer range than is included in this kit. 200 isn't quite far enough. The stuff with it you will probably never use. A cleaning cloth, extra charger, filters(not special),tri-pod. I hope this helps this about $100. less than I paid..but I'd still do it different if I did it again.

I have had pretty good luck with night shots, however it only works if there's a little light to work with. I have put my camera in an area where there's a lot of over growth and No moon light and my pictures are also dark.If the area is open and there's some light to work with its pretty good in my opinion.

Yes, but they're not very good quality. The flash has very little distance capability, and with the flash they don't look like night pictures. Without the flash they don't turn out well at all. The moon looks like a little dot. I've tried taking pictures of deer at dusk, but the deer don't show up. Maybe I don't know how to do the adjustments. Then manual that comes with this camera is not really a manual, and going online for more information doesn't help.

Yes. I own a Nikon L830. The L810,L820 and the L830 are capatitable and I bought all sorts of goodes for it. I had the same questions my self when buying. I had to do a lot of looking to find this out. Again yes.

My cheat sheets were for the D3000 and specific enough to jar your memory when you have a brain cramp. If you know how to used your camera, they are things that you might not do all that often, so you need a memory boost. If you are a novice, they can help as well, but they won't make you an expert on taking bulb setting shots at 3 AM in the middle of a moonless night.

this camera would be fine, but what you'll really need is a macro lens. this is just the body of the camera, so you'll need the regular kit lens and then a macro piece (i found a really cheap one once that doubled as a wide angle lens for about $12). hope that helps!

Nikon coolpix 510. I use it for extra lighting to take pictures of Quilts and other craft projects.
