Short demonstration of using a Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder with a good zoom to capture live video of a full moon. While, I usually photograph the moon with various telescopes and astro-cameras, this time I'm showing the ease of using a camcorder mounted on an equatorial mount and tripod. To shoot the moon properly with a camera, the most important factors are good zoom, adjustable exposure, focus and stability. A simple smartphone just can't quit do it. At least not yet!
