Thank you, the detail came out well under a combination of factors - optimal sampling, sensor settings (minimum exposure, unity gain, bin 2), and tuning the airy disks through compression and precise focusing.
And most importantly, the seeing here, unfortunately, is not the best for my location, and the potential of the 200mm refractor is not fully realized, but I'll try to catch more sky this season.

Is that a 200mm aperture refractor you have?

Please show a photo of the setup... I'm curious what refractor it is, 200mm and 1800mm focal length...

Yes, a homemade rig based on a Chinese achromatic doublet.

Thank you... impressive... I also collected with a 100 Tal and a Coronado 40, and I even slapped a 3x Barlow on it and got 5 meters of focal length))) but here in Kaliningrad the seeing is terrible, plus humidity and the sea... nothing decent came out of my solar shots... I need to play around with the sample and try again...
