    20d + 400mm + 2xTC = 1280 (+ plus a bit of crop zoom)

    Aw, man, my 400mm doesn't take multipliers, at least, not Nikons. Did you have to manually focus this, Tim?

    yup, it was manually focused as best as i could... not the sharpest but a fun little experiment

    Shooting the Moon - and Jupiter and its moons too!

    Nice! Watch out, it gets addictive!

    I love shooting the moon, but the weather doesn't often cooperate down here. Tonight was a rare exception - clouds parted and no haze, so I finally got to try the big ol Tamron 200-500 on the moon:

    That's 500mm + 1.5x sensor + 2x crop, manual, tripod, remote shutter release.

    Also - hurry out and try to shoot the planet Jupiter! It's going to be with the moon in the night sky for a few days, and if you can get 800-1000mm equivalent out of your camera (cropping or otherwise), you can actually resolve 4 of Jupiter's moons!:

    Same settings as above...both shot tonight!
