I have the 200-500 lens. I would love to get to 1000mm to get closer to the moon. Will the AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III work well with this lens?
BTW I have a D810.
Yeah, 1.4TC and a 1.5x crop camera. LOL
that's basically what I've done now for astrophotography. Went back to a crop camera for more reach. FYI, I have video/pics using a2xTC which effectively giving me 9,000mm.
9,000 for me. not him.Yeah, 1.4TC and a 1.5x crop camera. LOL

9,000mm?
500mm, with a 2x TC, on a Nikon DX......... works out to 1,500mm equiv. So what stretch of math are you using to increase that another 6x?

You should see the moon using magnification eyepieces................
Celestron SC ?.........

I'm not using the 200-500.
but of course I've used the 2x TC on my Tamron 150-600, Nikon 300/4 and various other lenses just to see how the image was.
I'm using a 3,054mm 12inch telescope.

3,000 - just the telescope and a Nikon D750 - uncropped

I think this is 4500 - telescope and Nikon D500

I would love to reproduce those images with my DSLR and the 200-500mm lens. Sounds like the 2.0 teleconvertor is a no-go, the 1.4 would be better with crop?
