It should work OK for you Jeff.
Ed Constable has one and showed some very acceptable results with his V1 + FT1 and his long telephoto (cant remember if it was 400 or 500mm.

Dont forget to use your tripod!

been doing a lot of reading up on it tonight ,and it appears its fine on static -ish subjects at long range with the longer lenses,but not birds in flight etc .but its still the best option i can find ,the astroscope idea would have limited me to manual focus only and also not for bif so again with its own limitations .  on the plus side my lad who still luckily lives at home has just changed from the dark side and yesterday bought a nikon 500mm f4  ,so you never know i might get a few shots with that :sssshh:

In my hands my 400mm f2.8 works best on a tripod with a Wimberley head or gimbal mount. Even though it is a fast lens and with D3 or D300 I still struggle to get close enough to herons to photograph them adequately.

No mine arent that good Jeff!
The grey herons here never allow me to get close to even get them to 1/4 fill a frame.
I have some of a Squacco pictures up close but they seem much less shy. Even the egrets here seem very shy.
