Did a test run with the TTArtisan 500mm f/6.3 on the Pleiades under Bortle 4 skies. Pretty impressed with what this little lens + Star Adventurer GTi can pull off. Processing definitely pushed me a bit, but I’m happy with the result.
Gear: Nikon Z6 + TTArtisan 500mm f/6.3 Exposure: 124 × 120s @ f/7.3, ISO 3200 Mount: Star Adventurer GTi (tracked) Processing: Stacked in Siril, finished in Photoshop

That looks fantastic congrats !
I’m looking to start astrophotography but there’s so much gear to buy and it’s not cheap either. Just the mount would be the same as a Newton Telescope if not more.
