Very sorry to break your heart, man, but no, it won't. Your
solution will only take you to 400mm and this is waaaaay
not enough… even on a large sensel count capture.
If you can access a small telescope or astronomy club… or
both, you will find satisfaction and excitement.
Have a good time!
Light is free… capturing it is not!
you'll want a lot more than that. You might want to check perhaps you could even rent a telescope with Canon mount. But then again, you'll want to get schooled on how to take such photos. Going to astronomy club will help you get the hands on. is rendered here at about 1/18 of the 37,3 MS of the sensor.
You can imagine shooting Mars…

It is more the combo of the lens and a high sensel count.
If you read correctly, the final picture is only 1/18 of the
captured file… so the is at the limit of the combo!
