Nikon P900

Image Details:

This photo of the waning crescent moon was taken this morning at about 9 am. The moon is visible still in the morning despite the sunshine and it was a crescent white inside the clear blue skies. The moon appeared to be dissolved in the sky and it was a beautiful sight. This picture may be ordinary, but the fact is, the moon is like about 386000 km away from Earth and the Nikon P900 is able to capture the moon so close with its telescopic lens without the aid of any other equipment.
