You're maginifying atmospheric distortion. Put a 800mm prime on your camera and shoot a bird 300-yards away across a lake on a warm day and it'll look like dog shit, even with a $14,000 lens.
I'm routinely shooting at 1,000mm, but hardly ever do I shoot something 1/2-mile away. You need really clear air for that to work. Early or late in the day, after a rain and a little breeze to blow out the haze, then you may have something.
50-miles away from the mountain and a little further to the moon. 700mm rig:
