I've used the 600mm Vivitar S1 Solid cat. It works pretty well when you
get the focus right. It is really tough to focus correctly when
shooting the moon, everything looks to be in focus, but since they focus
beyond infinity, you can be off enough to get really soft photos.

Done really well!
I wonder if anyone has ever tried the mirror 800 mm lenses for
shooting the Moon. They also used to be sold with a 2x TC.
(IIRC they were Korean: Samyang/Rokinon ?)

I continue to be fascinated with focusing the moon. This is as close
to there earth as it will come in my lifetime. It’s one day short of
full here, but that gives it a bit of dimension. I can’t get any
closer. This is the Pentax D FA 150-450 with the A 2X S converter. to
yield 900 mm. Manual focus. f8, 1/200th, ISO 400.
