As a relative newcomer i too have got decent results with this lens. I find so many dismissive and pompous (present company excepted) APs who scoff at using tele lens and kit they wouldn't buy. You absolutely can get decent pics from it ("well...not to that standard i want" say these same AP stalwarts). 

So beit, but to lots of people the results are pleasing and sufficient

 

 

That is amazing photo! Would you mind to let me know your setup? Do you use dslr (with modified or without) or asi astronomy cam? Any auto guiding system do you use? Thanks

I am impressed by what the Sigma C 150-600 can offer a new asteophotographer like me.

a. Flexible FL to play with

b. Good contrast and unnoticable(to me) chromatic aberration.

 

Impressive images. Great job.

I am a newcomer, so here are few of mine. Some people outcast us as we use lenses.

As 1. I have it already, 2. Flexible FL to play with, 3. Minimal Chromatic aberration(to my eyes)

I am going to use it until I have enough experience to use an SCT.

 

That is great photo! Thanks for sharing the set up too. What is asi camera do you use? 
For the mount, what do you think compare to HEQ-5? Thanks

Hello There, I have the same lens as yours.  Can I ask what is the camera  and guide camera you have there and the Bracket you have to hold the guider scope? 

Does your polar align success in the balcony there . I have similar situation with roof block the polar star. 

Thanks
