I recently got a Nikon Coolpix P900. I love the camera and all that it can do. as this is my first camera that is not a point and shoot camera. I also took an Astrophotography class this is one of photos
Welcome to the forum!
I also have the P900. Have not tried to for astro photography except for a few moon shots.
It can do a good job for you and of course it's strongest side is the lens when you need shots of those creatures that are small or far away and will not let you too close.

Welcome Wacky Welshman, I bet you could get Jupiter and some of her moons with that P900..I did with my smaller zoom Canon sx50.

Welcome to the forum.
Now you can take more pictures until Gear Acquisition Syndrome bites you and you just have to purchase something with more buttons to press.
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for sharing a photo.
Neat shot.

If you hit the "store original" button, we can download the photo and see it in a larger size. Your photo shows stars trailing which means that the shutter was open too long. If you really want to explore shooting the stars, consider this mount from iOptron (iOptron SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount with Polar Scope, Mount Only SKU: ATSTPRO MFR: 3322) at B & H, it will follow the movement of the Earth and prevent the star trailing. I warn you, if you continue to pursue photographing the stars, you better have deep pockets because you can spend easily $10-20,000
