Well thank you that means a lot!

I have! Always wonderful shots from you! Kinda kicking myself for not going with the 150-600, but still love the 100-400. I’m assuming just go with the canon mIII if I can swing the money for the extender?

I have a Tamron 2x Converter (in Canon white) which I use on my 100-400, works well...

Initially having better luck with getting decent exposure during twilight

Admittedly the moon wasn't the real intended subject, but you gotta love serendipitous composition...

The 100-400 is giving you very good results! Do you have any other lenses? I am assuming you have a Canon camera body?

I do not have an answer for THIS problem, but when I bought my 150-600 lens I bought Sigma Extenders. Later I wanted to use my Sigma extender on my Canon 70-300 lens and found my Canon 70-300 will NOT fit on my Sigma extender at all. That I do not know why the 70-300 from Canon will not fit my Sigma extender. I then decided to buy a Kenko extender which does fit the Canon 70-300.

It makes no sense to me why the Canon 70-300 will not go inside the Sigma extender. Both the 70-300 and my 150-600 fit in my 90D they should both fit in the Sigma Extender, but no they do not.

Thanks! As a rank amateur/beginner, it's very encouraging to get positive feedback. Photography in general and astrophotography in particular has been a dream for a long time. Getting my first digital SLR has finally made it possible and affordable to learn on the fly.

That’s honestly why I got my camera! But keep up the good work! I’ve honestly learned so much from this forum, just different ISO levels and such, you’ll pick up on it fast!

Yep I have the 80D (I do manual focus for my shots) I have smaller lenses a cheaper canon 70-300 the older version. But I primarily use canon 18-135 and sigma 100-400. I will look to see if that converter fits the 100-400.
So do you recommend the sigma 2x then? (If it fits my sigma)

I haven't gotten brave enough to try manual focus yet. So far AF has seemed to do okay for shooting the moon and Jupiter. Complete fail on Saturn though, not enough contrast I guess. Had to guess since there's nothing really to see visually. Ended up with every shot, but one just being a black field. Guessing I was way underexposing it.

I would get either the Sigma currently priced at $315.13 at Amazon or the Canon 2.0 priced at $429.00

Keep in mind your Canon 70-300 will not fit on the Sigma extender. I sure wish I knew why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kenko is priced at $181.42
