I need more focal length! :)
Was out in the backyard doing some light painting with my wife (she's learning photography), so quickly setup the 6D and 120-400mm lens @ 400mm and took a snap of the Moon.
It's a single shot. At such a short focal length and without stacking many shots, processing is much different than when capturing at 1000mm focal length through the ED80 and stacking 50 shots.
As a comparison, I added the scale of the Moon on the full-frame sensor @ 400mm. The larger one is obviously cropped significantly from the full frame but the detail is still ok.
It was practically hand-held, because the zoom on the Sigma kept sliding back (the Moon was overhead) so I had to hold it out with my hand, therefore I set the shutter speed fast (1/2000s) with a higher ISO (1250), f/6.3.
Happy with the snapshot anyway :)
