[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 784394, member: 48483"] Sigma makes their own 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters that are compatible with the lens in F-mount. No experience with either the teleconverter or D3400 personally. But I do have a story of owning a Tamron 1.4x autofocus teleconverter years ago. Was perfectly happy with it on the D80 I was using, but it never worked with the D7000 I bought after. It was included in the trade-in gear I took to the camera store when I bought my D750 so I never tried it with another camera. Personally my strategy is to use that 24MP resolution of the camera sensor and shoot with a steady base. Shoot RAW + JPG and crop down the RAW image as needed. Eliminate any shake in the images and you will be surprised how much detail will be there with the Sigma lens. A steady tripod and remembering to turn off VC on the lens when using the tripod goes a very long way. And I have some experience photographing eagles in flight with the Sigma 150-600mm C.

It is a single image with no special astrophotography filters applied. But I used a fast enough shutter speed from a very steady tripod and used a remote shutter release.
