I'd be very interested in seeing if I can get something 1000th of the quality and detail you've gotten. I don't have a mono camera or HA filters and the camera I do have other than the Nikon D810 full frame is a lower spec Player one Neptune with the ASI178 coluor sensor. Plus that level of integration would be nigh on impossible with my temporary set up (big hole dug for pier where my mount normally goes, bad weather and bad health (migraines) have made what should be 1 days work into several months and still not done). The prepared hole is currently full of water, maybe a floatie at the base of the heavy pier (1/4" or 5/16 wall thickness on tube with 1/2"plate top and bottom but if would bob up and down.and be useless. I do have a semi prepared area beside the hole as long as the hole is covered so I don't stumble down in the dark (I have 3/4 inch rebar hammered into the clay at 45-60 degree angles in each corner and crossing over in the centre of the hole. I've yet to weld up a jig to hold my 16mm stainless threaded rod to set in concrete but I may up that to 20mm threaded rod, the holes in the base are large enough. I've put a couple of bags of concrete powder in the base to stop the water ruining the concrete and stop the clay sucking the moisture out. This should prevent movement and slip of clay on a sloping yard . However, I'd still love to try if the weather and migraines clear for a few nights I'd be keen to see if I can get anything. I need to check the collimation on the RC 8 and hope it's not too far out if at all because I'm not competent to collmate the unit.
Even if I could get 6 hours integrstion time I'd bee keen on seeing what I could get and wouldn't expect it to be anything like yours.
The other issue is the street light across the road. I'm seriously considering driving some pipes into the ground and wrapping it in either builders plastic (black) or maybe even shade cloth to see if it subdues the ambient LED street light.
