Next challenge for this little camera I think could be trying to get shots of the space station. I have tried with dslr and wasn’t successful. I don’t think it was camera shake (possible though) or motion blur that was the problem. I think it was just too small in the frame. Sx730 might fix that but trying to shoot space station at a high enough shutter speed and not be just a noise-fest might be a huge hurdle. Anyway. I think that would be a fun challenge for this little camera. No idea if it could do it or not.
It can. In a good overhead pass, ISS is bright enough that you can use quite fast shutter speeds, like 1/300th at ISO 80, and angular size is comparable to Saturn or Jupiter. Images below were taken with sx710, hand held. Not much to look at, but definitely some real shape visible. I found framing and tracking quite challenging. I had best results using Tv mode, dialing down the shutter speed to brighten the display to frame it and then dialing it up to shoot
ISS, SX710 hand held, 1/320th ISO80. Two frames
That's way better than what I was getting with FF dslr + 600mm lens. Very recognizable as the space station. And handheld no less. Cool! Nice job!
