Thanks. That was two full nights of imaging on just a single target.

Another approach is the SeeStar computerized telescope. They’re really amazing and easy to use.

I don’t know of any. Sorry. The model I was using actually came from the factory modified. That’s why the call it the Ra (a for astrophotography). They’re great for wide field astro images. Be sure to stop down your lens a couple of stops too.

You’re fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.
This was with a Canon Ra mirrorless camera that’s modified for astrophotography attached to a Redcat51 250mm telescope, on an IOptron GEM28 mount. Processed in PixInsight and Adobe Photoshop. The image was cropped significantly.

Well, don’t give up. I shot this back in 2021 and have since got better at post-processing. Went back and reprocessed this one.
And you got to see the eclipse. I got clouded out.
