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

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!
