I'm sure you'll be giving it another go when this wet weather passes and we will be interested in following your progress.

This was without tracking and no telescope in a fairly light polluted area. I just have a cheap $40 tripod that I just mounted the camera to. 10 second exposures at f2.0 lens equivalent of a 50mm full frame lens. The full photo contains the ground as well but I cropped it out as an astrophotography subreddit I'm on has rules like not posting things below the Kármán line and I wasn't sure if that was the case here.
I'm keen to do more exposures before stacking but I want to get an intervalometer so I don't have to keep count in my head.
