Great picture Peter,
I am always impressed by the Milky Way.
Looks like you were very lucky to get the EOS Ra camera
as they are now discontinued.

the EOS Ra had a specially designed infrared (IR) filter that
allowed the camera to capture four times as much transmission of the
656nm wavelength (hydrogen-alpha rays) compared to the
regular Canon EOS R cameras.
The camera’s software was also altered to allow photographers
to punch in on the electronic viewfinder (EFV) or rear LCD
up to a factor of 30 in order to allow for more precise manual focusing of stars and other astronomical objects.

cheers
Allan
