Turns out it takes a Sigmonster +2x TC set to 1462mm on a 1.6x camera for a full frame equivalent of 2340mm. I actually had to add space to the top and bottom of this to make it look less constrained:  For a more interesting shot, here's the moon passing behind thin clouds. This one's only at 800mm with no TC:  Andy Brown; South-east England. Canon, Sigma, Leica, Zeiss all on Canon DSLRs. My hacking blog

Because with my 1200mm scope at prime focus the moon fills the frame almost as much as the image you posted. But then I guess I probably have a smaller sensor on my 450D...I don't know. Canon EOS 450D, Sigma 18-200mm, Canon 50mm f/2.5 Macro, 2x TC, Revelation 12" f/5 Dobsonian, Mintron PD2285-EX webcam.
