Not bad, especially using two (?) lens extenders? About 1500 or so mm?

Thanks dlmorris... I appreciate your comments...

2.0x + 1.4x = 3.4x
3.4x X 600mm = 2040mm

If my math is correct... and that doesn't count the 1.6x camera factor...

1.6x X 2040mm = 3264mm... seems unbelievable...

3624mm???
3624mm???...

P.S. The first moon photo posted above was the wrong photo... the 2nd moon photo was the best moon photo in my series of shots... the 2nd moon photo has a little bit more sharpness to it. See Moon photo below...

Slightly more detail in this photo...

I think the 2000 seems about right, when I use my crop sensor camera on my 1500mm telescope with a 2x Barlow (so 3000mm) then the mood BARELY fits on the sensor.

The second and 3rd Moon photos were the correct photos... the first was pretty clear but not as clear as the 2nd and 3rd shots.
