I was out before dawn this weekend attempting a 45 shot panorama with my 77 ltd. Whilst I was waiting for the sun to rise a noticed a short wisp of a contrail in the distance. I had time for a quick practice shot and then a hand held shot as the aircraft passed by the moon.
I wasn't expecting much; the aircraft was nothing more than a golden glint over the horizon and I later calculated the distance between the aircraft and myself was about 20km. Blown up, it's possible to count the wingspan as being 49 pixels across. I was blown away by the capability of the lens and the camera.
So, whilst not exactly a high quality picture, I thought I'd put it up to show what this lens can do.
F8, 1/160, ISO100 on a K-3ii with SR switched on. Manually focussed using live view to an object about 300m away and cropped to death. It actually looks pretty crisp in full resolution TIF format.

I'm impressed with the 77 for astro tracing. This one is an 80 second trace, ISO200, F7.1 and heavily cropped. The star burst looks best when you centre the planets in the viewfinder.
This one was taken in Australia when the planets were at their closest. The blue colour of the sky was caused by the evening light and full moon. Very cold, but a special thing to see. Another forum member drew my attention to the fact that you can see one of Jupiter's moons.
