Thanks for the reply. I was hoping it was not, because those things are pricey!
By the way, I see that you're just 2 months old on Hive, welcome! There are many photographers here, but you probably already have seen that since you're posting in the Photography Lovers community ^^. I'd love to learn more about astrophotography, but the prices are just a little bit beyond to make it a hobby.
Looking forward to see more of these kind of shots :)
A cheaper and equally good option is a small SW Star Adventurer mount. It's significantly cheaper and I'm great for a camera + lens set. I think the lens is up to 200mm it will manage to expose frames for 30 seconds without moving stars.
I only do not know how to identify the "dark, flat, dark flat, offset-bias" RAW files in the photographs for the DeepSkyStacker software (do you happen to use that as well?).
Would be awesome to find out if this actually works for me.
The camera was mounted on the Heq5 equatorial lead

I actually found this... what a gem of a find!
