Tonight's 80% Waxing Gibbous Moon.
Really pleased with the Nikon Z50II and my Sigma 150-600 Contemporary (and FTZ II adapter).
Single image. 600mm @ F/6.3 ISO400 1/1250.

I don't think I can polar align any closer than that!
Overall I'm happy with the AM5N performance, but some frsutrations compared with an AM5:
1) Inability to use the AM5N out of the box for dual-scope setups. I replaced the thru-power AM5N saddle from an AM5
2) Inability to use my Polemaster

My new AM5N arrived yesterday thanks to Zoltan at 365Astronomy, and it's already being put to use alongside my other AM5. These 2 rigs run 3 mono QHY268M cameras and scopes allowing me to capture Sii, Ha and Oiii simultaneously.
The moon isn't helping Oiii capture on IC434 tonight though!
