I am looking to take photos of the Moon, I have a few lenses:

Panasonic 14-43mm, 45-200mm and 100-300mm but I want to be able to take closer photos to enable me to see the surface in greater detail.

I was looking at something greater than 500mm or thinking is there a 2.0x teleconverter that would work with my current lenses?

I am new to this and would like to know your thoughts.

OR you can get used one of the "cheap" super zoom compacts such as the Panasonic FZ80 or Nikon B600/700/900/1000 or maybe even the TZ70-90 series. They all have small sensors with very long lenses which however can shoot very good moon shots.
