Anything below about 15-20 degrees from the horizon is made mushy and bounces around due to the atmosphere so you're best to stay out of that area. From there, as you go higher the technique becomes less accurate.

You mentioned the 70-200mm but if you have wider lenses, I'd suggest using those. Maybe you have a fast 85mm or 50mm or even wider. For example, the southern cross fits nicely in a 50mm lens on a crop body. So does Orion.
