Well yes it was. Others are taking pictures like this also. They post on Depue Site. Check it out on U-Tube also. It's not hard. The camera is the Canon SX50. The zoom is 200X Figger it out. All my astromony shots are handheld.
I used to use a tripod, but there is no need. Here is what I got about a hour ago. Moon, Orion Nebula m-42, Jupiter . All handheld.

Yes, and when I first saw what the camera could do I didn't believe it either.
I stayed up until 3:00am watching videos on U-Tube of the moon. Next day I
told the wife were are going to get one. I have a telescope and have done
Astrophotography . After a year I still find it hard to believe. If anybody would
have told me that you can take a 350.00 point & shoot camera and go out and
point it at the sky and take pictures of the rings of Saturn, cloud bands on
Jupiter I would not believe it. But that's where we are today. Just think what
they will be doing in 10 years. I'm 72 and looking forward to it.
By the way, I'm in Kansas City Mo. Phil
