Thanks to all :) .
I was positively surprised by the quality of the image of 'the navel of the Moon' (single shot, 6600/44 FF equivalent).
See e.g. Tycho (crater), Moon_landing_map.
I expected worse results due to the small sensor and diffraction.
What I found especially impressive is that you really see the Moon "moving" on the screen - so shutter speed should kept high enough.
The illumination by the sun was of some help here ;) .
Shadows in streak of light helped to increase contrast.
Terrestrial shooting is even harder.
The small sensor of the Q is very demanding.
I always try to stay below f4, ISO 200 and faster than 1/100s.
However, this is not always possible - especially when using an additional converter.
Dust and flicker in the atmosphere is also a problem.
Aiming at a target is the first task, finding correct sharpness the next.
The time lag after release is also not really of help (when e.g. birding).
The use of a remote-control is necessary, as pressing the trigger manually causes too much vibrations.
The editing of this picture might already be a bit excessive. It is just meant to show that it is possible to get enough detail - sometimes.
So, just for fun, Q + Pentax 2x-L + FA* 600 again (after heavy sharpening):
About 5-10m (5m is the min. focus distance of the FA* 600), the last bird was farther away in the top of a tree.

@ pinholecam: I have some questions concerning your macros. What kind of flash did you use and how did you position it? Regarding f8-f16 and the small sensor of the Q (diffraction) - the images look surprisingly sharp - any tricks involved? How did you manage to focus accurately? And ... how did you convince the spiders/insects not to move ;) ?
