Wow. And this is just with the telephoto lens? That's incredible! Did you have it on a motorized mount?

Yes, I had dabbled a bit with astro photography with wide angle lenses and thought the zoom might be too heavy for the mount. Used a Sky Adventurer 2 tracker and had to use an additional weight to balance the lens.

Really happy with the way it turned out.

Wait this is with a telephoto lens, and no telescope?

That’s fucking incredible! Nice job!
