(2,488 posts)7. nikon d500 150-600mm lens 1.4x teleconverter
cropped the photo then used topaz gigapixel to upsize it 4x.
i prefocused on a bright star before the pass since i knew manual focus wouldnt work

(12,408 posts)8. Thanx. Did you teleconvert to 1200?
I have a D800, Nikon 150 - 500 and a teleconverter. I will try with a monopod.
I didn't think a photo was possible
Next time it flies over my area....

It's over 200 mies above us and it's only about the length of a football field. I didn't expect to see so much detail. Was tonight your first try?
