I was going to bed and noticed snow plowing at a neighbor's house. I grabbed the camera nearest me, the SX720HS and took some shots. Are they perfect? of course not. The 720 is not made for night work. Are they good enough? You be the judge.

Snowplow lighting up the end of the block with his work lights. Notice the star high up. Not quite pinpoint, but not bad for a hand-held normal exposure.

Zoomed in a little. The funky tree shadows are from the streetlight, which has 3 LED emitters.

I have seldom tried this with a 1/2.3" sensor. I had an ideal vantage point with a solid w

indow frame to brace the camera. I didn't feel like walking downstairs for my G95.
