I took jupiter with sigma 150 - 600 f6.3 on many different settings, focused on live view with my reading glasses and a magnifying glass to get it as small as i could get it and after much trial and tribulation with exposures etc, I had about 20 shots ranging from being too bright right down to where i can barely make out the moons and i can not see any details even after playing with contrast and brightness in photoshop.
I must be doing something wrong
