How the hell did you get this photo?

I am new to moon photography. Have a Sigma 70-300 and a 2x TC. Any advise would be welcome

Thank you!

Another mooner!!You never get sick of them,especially when they come out as good as this one.

Did you do any stacking with this shot? I've used a 2x TC on my 400mm and found the IQ was worse then if I took the shot without and cropped the shot. Yours has turned out pretty good.

How did you hand hold that?!?
Nice shot...

Great shot, I've been waiting for the moonrise tonight for several days... and we got a completely cloud covered night. We've got a blue moon coming later this month, so another chance.

Well done! I hope to get one this good sometime.

I can shoot handheld quite good but at 600mm I wouln't even attempt it. You beat me, it is a very nice moon shot and thanks for posting it.

WOW...awesome moon shot! With steady hands like yours...I wouldn't even need image stabilization

No stacking, just a straight shot with crop and some processing.
I do find the IS very good on Pentax ... apparently the K-7 is a lot better than the K10D. Hopefully I will find out soon.
