Cheap and cheerful: a simple Synta ED80 + corrector = 510 mm at F/6. I attached the camera, started the auto-shooting from the camera menu, and walked away.

I'm not sure if guiding was used (I won't lie here: it might have been).

Since there is no dithering and no camera control, walking noise is present. Cosmic Clarity won't install or run at all (there's a new tool there to remove walking noise), so I'll leave it processed with classic tools.
