Going Long

Hi All,

I did my first field experiment with an Orion 80ED and a Kenko 2x TC. I had to tape all of the pins on the TC to make it work with my 20D but the result is an EFL of 1920mm.
I put it on a Wimberley atop a Samson tripod and played with shutter speeds for exposure. This duck was approximately 150' away and this is a 71% reduction with no cropping. I need more practice but so far I'm encouraged.

Happy New Year!

Steve

Nice job, and very contrasty.
