A round of applause or ten!

And, what kind of lens? With a 600 on a crop body (900 equivalent) I can *just* begin to make out banding on Jupiter and get Saturn to look lumpy. I've toyed with a bit of astro- but it's been a lot of thinking and only a little dabbling. Before I invest more it's worth asking how big to go.

edit: also on a tripod or other stable surface; I can do the Moon unsupported but nothing else obviously! and the sun @ 150 is fine, but I don't buy it for the others, that or you are REALLY talented!
