I'll share the first result from my mobile setup based on the Svbony SV535 astrograph (F=105mm, 1/2.8), which I managed to connect to a budget Canon M200 mirrorless camera (APS-C, 24MP, not modified yet), on an SW Star Adventurer mount. Over the weekend from October 4 to 5, 2026, I managed to take it to the dacha (Pushchino, Mariinsko-Posadsky district, Chuvashia. MPC:M12) and grab 2 hours of moonless sky, though at a temperature close to 0. I set the polar alignment with a 30F4+SV905C guide scope in SharpCap, but I didn't use autoguiding yet. As a result - 0 tracking rejects, not counting frames with satellites!
I shot with the stock intervalometer in series of 10 frames with a 30 sec exposure, ISO800. 240 frames of 30 sec were stacked and processed in Siril+StarNet++.
For such a simple setup without any filters with an unmodified budget mirrorless camera, the result of a test run under Bortle 4-5 sky pleased me. I can imagine what could be shot with it under a truly dark sky!
