[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 140713, member: 8344"] Moon shots? This is about the best shot I have taken. Mirror up, timer on, tripod was weighted down to prevent motion. Note, the best moons to shoot with a 500mm reflex lens are NOT full moons. Half moon and quarter moon work best. I believe, I used a 2x TC on this. 1000mm shot! [ATTACH=CONFIG]33753._xfImport[/ATTACH] By the way, here is a link for a $95 500mm f8 Optika mirror lens on Amazon.com. Shipped by 47th Street Photo.

For $20 more you can get a 2x Teleconverter. I would recommend this for nothing more than the extra fun.
