Here is a few photos from when I was in China in December. I have my own edited versions, but I am interested in learning better ways to balance light and colour in other people's takes.

I am looking to buy an ASI585MC Air (it is the most budget friendly option for me), to use with an AM3N, an EAF, and a dew heater (voltage not decided). I am confused on how the best way to supply power to all the components is. Once I have my DC input (whether that be from mains or from a power station), where do I go from there? Do I plug the input into the camera and then power everything else from the ports out of the camera? Or do I need to plug the input into something like an SV241 powerbox and then have separate outputs from the powerbox to the equipment. Or some other option.

Hello, I am based in New Zealand and have been doing astro for about a year. I do not have a particularly high income and so cannot buy all the best gear. I currently use a Canon R10, various Canon RF lenses (eg. 75-300mm f/4-5.6 for deep sky), and a MSM Nomad star tracker. I travel by train to and from a darker location (low-end bortle 4) so my integration times are limited (2-3 hours maximum), I stack with DSS / Sequator, and edit in PhotoShop. Understandably, all the images I take end up being pretty noisy. Increasing my integration time isn't really a feasible option, so I am wondering where I should prioritise my money spending as I try to upgrade my gear. What would give the best immediate results? A modded camera, faster lenses, a telescope, an automated star tracker, better processing programs, etc.?
