R7 + 800mm f11 Captures What?!

[Jake Shoots Birds]

I had captured the Blue Moon with the R7 and 100-500mm and started wondering why I hadn't tried the 800mm. So a couple mornings later I went out and gave it a shot and was really happy with the way the IBIS allowed me to capture it handheld. After shooting the moon I saw this bright star to the right of it and decided, what the heck?! When I zoomed in this is what I saw (image was cropped and then magnified 4x using Topaz Gigapixel AI):

Not tack sharp, but what do you want from a $900 lens handheld?! Here's the moon shot:

Great shot of the moon, Jake. What is the top photo, Venus? Still not bad from a $900 lens. I have one myself to compliment my R5.
I'll be putting it to good use and posting on here for member perusal and CC.

Should have said - it's Jupiter, with a focal distance of 444 million miles/715 million km.

I thought that at first but couldnt see the big storm spot so assumed venus. Still, not bad for 715 mill kms away and only with a camera.

My understanding is the big spot has become less colored and pronounced, so it may be hiding.

Amazing for an unstacked hand held shot. Just don't know how you did that. It would have been incredible on a tripod and multiple stacked images. (See my recent post on video of image of Jupiter from video frames).
