Antlia 200mm DERF, achromat 204/1800, Baader TZ4s telecentric, two Lunt40s, BF from the Quark combo, and an IMX428 camera.
Capture parameters: full frame bin2 12-bit, 109 fps, histogram fill 60-65%. AS!4, post-processing in C++.
Atmospheric stability was below average, with issues stabilizing the image.
However, as practice shows, animations can be captured under any seeing, and it will be interesting :)

Pseudo-color added, stabilization improved.
