That's awesome! I had the same epiphany before I even bought a mount. Use a 50mm lens and 1-2s images and you can still stack!
I'm sure you've seen him before, but Nebula Photos is an amazing channel for no nonsense videos about "I have a camera, what do"
Hi thank you for the interest! I wrote up my equipment and process here:
Hi, thank you for the interest!
Equipment:
As many 20s exposures as I could get that night.
I use Siril for processing, been enjoying manual preprocessing recently actually. I stack and then follow a general processing pipeline I like: BG extraction, Photometric colour cal, then starnet++ star removal.
I denoise in graxpert and back to Siril for stretching the data using GHS
Perfect! Local astronomy clubs are definitely an amazing resource. I'm relatively new to the hobby so would definitely go by their experience.
Happy shooting and don't forget to share!
300mm is good, though you may want to be careful what mount you pair it with.
I use 200mm and am using a star adventurer 2i. I've heard others say this is near the limit for that platform.

I am sorry to say I can frequently be this friend...
Damn dude. Some people just like not being fired for having something pop up on their screen during a break. No need to get so offended that rules exist.
Ahh that sucks
I feel incredibly lucky that I have a Bortle 5 in my garden, it would be so much harder if I needed to drive somewhere
