You don't need a telescope

I couldn't find any file info in the EXIF so will only have to take your word for it . Even with a 50mm f/1.8 it's unbelievable with those settings .

Nope, that's about right with those settings. I usually shoot the Milky Way at f/2.8 with my Tokina 11-16, and his settings correspond fairly well to what I get, once they're scaled for focal length and exposure settings.

Post your 5-sec shot with EXIF so i can check it out .

5 second shot at ISO 1600? wow, i'd like to see what your settings were for your 5 second shot with the 11-16mm.

I had a 24II + 5Diii
ISO 3200
f/5
25s

And this is what I got:

That's rather offensive Ron. You could click on the Flickr link and view the EXIF information there.

EXIF data is all on the flickr link on the right hand side.
Even at 5" I get slight trailing, it's a real balance act with that lens, especially getting focus!

Thanks for your kind reply , i did find it and am impressed ! Steve didn't understand my reply when i said if was unbelieveable with those settings . He didn't understand i was merely making a comment cause it is unbelieveable what cameras and lens of f/1.8 and wider are producing . It amazes me daily . I believe he's still holding a grudge from the past cause this is not the first time he refers similiar remarks towards me . As i say , thanks again for your kind reply .

Nope its an Atik 383L+mono camera so narrow band filters have been used.

I wish my 60d could take a shot like that then i wouldn't have needed to spend a few thousand on an astro camera.

That is an AWESOME shot! But I need to ask.......what is the trick to getting the moon looking so big?

It certainly is, but the answer to your question is simply focal length: 500mm + 2x extender = 1000mm. The aeroplane is further away than you might think.

By quite a bit...
