I had a 70-300 Sigma Apo - its a better lens then the price suggests. I think you will struggle with the moon tho!
anyway enjoy the lens - I found it was a tad soft at full end but performed well at interim distances - and performed VERY well with a converter on macro settings.

They look pretty good for a non telescope lol.
Anyhoo - gotto try these things eh?
And so far without convertor, the macro is pretty amazing! Will have to try and find a convertor to see just how well it performs.
