Thanks John, I appreciate your comments.

For any other EOS R users out there, one crucial camera setting that I discovered during this session (surprisingly) is that Silent Shutter MUST be set to ON to avoid camera shake.

When I took the 1st series of images, I was dismayed to see them all blurred with what looked like a classic case of mirror slap; but as we all know, the EOS R is mirrorless.

I then set Silent Shutter to ON (in EOS Utility as I was tethered to my laptop) and lo and behold the images were sharp once more.

Here are some down-sampled Raw crops showing the difference between Silent Shutter ON and OFF. This was reliably repeatable as I toggled the setting between ON and OFF.

It makes me wonder if it should be ON even when using camera lenses (as opposed to a 1932mm fl 'scope) at lowish shutter speeds.

Cheers

Dennis
