Default Moon

I bid on and purchased a Sigma 2x teleconverter ($130.00 US) It worked fine with my Sigma APO 70-200. I took this with my 70-300 canon mounted on the 2x converter, I just could not use the auto focus.

Thanks! I wasn't sure on the manual focus and taking the photo handheld. I didn't have my tripod available and didn't want to miss the shot.

You did this handheld? Good job! If I tried that, and I have, well, let's just say I can't even tell it was the moon...

This is a very nice photo. Getting a good picture of the moon is not easy to do. Great job!
