Zooming Jupiter with only a camera! Nikon P1000 - super zoom!!

Cool tip! Thanks. I'll see if I can see that next time.

Here is a photo I took of Jupiter 2 nights ago with my iPhone 12 Max Pro. It made another appearance. I also zoomed in on the moon thinking I would get a nice image but all that appeared was a white blob. The iPhone camera just can't compete with the Nikon 1000 or others. It would be awesome though if one day you could zoom in with a mobile phone to see Jupiter's moons!

With less light pollution I'm pretty sure you could see them better, but I was at least able to point them out after zooming in on your photo. Freaking amazing that we can even get clear views of plants hundreds of millions of miles away. Never would have guessed that was possible with just a camera.
