saw a good pic today using a 400mm with a 1.4 and 2x converter, was impressive, filled the frame.

IR Filters kill this type of photography..... unless using very long exposures.

but light pollution is a killer....

Orion

The plough and Polaris (North Star)

Canon released a 20DA for astronomers, had the IR filter removed. very expensive though iirc

Tri-poddedd?

Me? If so, I don't do tripods, hand-held all the way, just a 3 second shutter delay to compose myself and hold my breath.

lovely cropped shot

Not sure how many mm's you would need to get anywhere near filling the frame, I'm guessing around 1200mm on our cropped sensors.

Anyone got a long fast lens, and 2x and 1.4x teleconverters that want to give it a go?
