Thanks for the details. I just bought a DA* 300 (and a DA* 200) and would love to get some deep space shots. I also have a Sigma 50-500 that I did use to get the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn a few weeks back. I need to find an area with dark skies that is not too far away. I drove about 90 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway a few months ago to get some Milky Way photos but those were wide angle shots. There is a spot about 30 to 40 minutes away that is pretty dark so I may try that some night.
My place is pretty dark. The Apalachicola National Forest is about an hour from here and has really dark skies but I have not tried there, yet. I can do 30-40 seconds with the 300mm and did 20 seconds with my Sigma APO 500mm f4. Color correction is better with the 300mm. The 200mm should give longer brighter subs. I used my 952mm Astro-Tech refractor on the conjunction without astrotracer because I did not need it and I can't get it to work properly with that odd focal length.
