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.

Bilpin is just up the street from where I live and yes its reasonably dark depending on which direction you are pointing. Towards Sydney in the east is less dark but towards the west its quite dark.
Not dark site dark but dark enough to get a shot like that.
I might add that Bilpin is around 550 metres altitude if not more. So you would get some extra clarity as that is out of the city mucky air.
