Is that the death star from Star wars in the second picture(LOL!) but anyway they are nice pictures of the moon. I haven't done a moon shot with mine yet.

I still have to try my lens with my 1.4 x converter. Deon, that's with the Sigma 2x and 1.4x TCs stacked. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

This was shot at the 500 mark, thus should be 1400mm. But they report as 785mm for some reason. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Here's a shot of the moon tonight at 1400mm, along with a 100% crop.  Very nice image, Tony. Did you get this image with MF or AF ?? Did you try any other shots with the either of TC's on ?? Cheers,

Did you get this image with MF or AF ?? Did you try any other shots with the either of TC's on ?? I'm considering getting a 1.4TC but wanted to know if the AF worked with the TC on. Thanks. Lose AF with any TC, and my understanding is the Canon TCs do not work with the Sigma. Both of mine are Sigmas. I've done other shots and the 1.4x is pretty nice, but the 2x starts to show issues. Stacking is really for only certain circumstances - like shooting the moon... "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

That is the first shot I had planned to do when mine arrives Wednesday was to stick my Tamron 1.4 on it, mount it to the tripod, and shoot the moon! goatee wrote in post #5890611 Congrats!

Here's a shot of the moon tonight at 1400mm, along with a 100% crop. Exactly what I will try, my Sigma came in yesterday afternoon. I did this shot the night before with my 100-400 with a 1.4x and 2x stacked, and with almost the same phase of the moon (one day apart), it is interesting to compare yours to mine from the 100-400 perspective.
