using this camera what would it be good to take astronomical photos of?
http://www.trustedreviews.com/digital-cameras/review/2010/09/01/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-FZ45/p1
obviously the moon would be suitable, but is there anything else that it would be good to aim it at. the camera has a 15s, 30s and a 60s shutter speed and i will be using a standard, but fairly stable tripod.
No. By having a nearly fully automatic camera, you are actually limiting yourself. You would be vastly better off getting a regular DSLR, with removable lenses. Canon’s are among the best, since they have low electronic noise that shows up in pictures.
