My plans do include two rock solid tripods - self timers as i have no remotes (yet) and no more than 400 iso ( I have always been afraid of "noise".
I may just shoot a series of 15 - 30 second shots with both cameras in hopes of catching the moment.
f16 sounds good to me.

Do not worry about noise it can be removed; here are suggestions:

Comet Panstarrs is quite small, so can get a little lost in the frame if you have a very wide field of view. Lots of different focal lengths can work, but if you have a standard 50mm lens that can be a good place to start (with either cropped sensor or full frame camera). Experiment with longer and shorter focal lengths. Comet Panstarrs is at its best about an hour after sunset, but there is still twilight so you will need to be constantly adjusting your exposure to match the changing light. Keep your exposure time down to around 15 secs or less (longer with very wide lenses) and open up the aperture. Keep the ISO low while twilight is bright but bump it up as you need to as the sky gets darker.

1.4x Teleconverter

I have used the Kenko TC with Nikon lens without a problem, But the Nikon TC is better with the compatible Nikon lens and Sigma says for their lens only the Sigma TC will work. So I have a set of Sigma TC for my Sigma 300 f/4 and now use only the Nikon TC 1.4, 1.7 and 2.0 with my Nikon lens

My question; Who made the rules and why should I follow them if it prohibits the photos that I want to take?

My point is I know what I like and find interesting but if everyone followed the same set of rules all of the time then we wouldn't have some of the masterpieces in the museums.

Rules are not absolutes think of them as suggestions. They are time honored ways the great masters in painting used lines, lighting etc. But there are times rules can and should be broken. Depends on what you like or what the subject is or what do you want to show

ND Filter

gemlenz wrote:

so you don't see any benefit of the UV filter?

Now that is starting another contentious issue. Those who say use an UV filter to protect your lens and those who do not. Me the only filters I use with my lens are a polarizing or a ND filter

Nikon 70-200mm f4

Depends on what you photograph. I have the f/2.8 and love it since I can use a 1.4, 1.7, and 2 x tele-converter with it and also focuses better in low light. There are people raving about the f/4 model. rent one of each for a week and try them out, then make your decision

lens hood

I utilize rubber lens hood for aquarium shooting also. They are cheap. I use the regular lens hood that came with the lens for all other shooting
