There's your guy right there. I checked Bilpin NSW light pollution data. It is VERY DARK, with an SQM of 21.80 mag/arcsecond^2 or brightness of 205 microcandela/m2, that would make even a Kodak Box Brownie look good. (sorry I had to say that for fun/hyperbole.)
The EOS R performance like some of the current crop of low noise/low dark current cameras is superb. That on top of the darkness of site (only 34 microcandela/m2 away from "perfect") , and the extra Hydrogen Alpha response from the modified sensor will make for a very rich and deep image.

I recall at least two equally wonderful Rho Op images at least one of which was from a DSLR.

Best
