From what I hear and read mirrorless bodies have superior low light capabilities over DSLR’s. The attachment here is from the referenced article. Also the question about AF capability.

A lot depends on the situation. My photo BFF has a Nikon D750 and a Z6. She got the D6 because when does a lot of behind-the-scenes projects for media companies and needed a silent shutter. She has told me several times that the D750 has superior low-light performance vs the Z6.

From Colorado National Monument in 9/22
Nice composition. Turn down blacks and shadows for a more dramatic result. Also a bit of DeHaze.

Not in your system, but probably in whatever you were focusing on. Is it an issue that cannot be resolved with a bit of post-processing with a healing tool in Lightroom or Photoshop?

Why not just connect a 2 Tb SSD drive to the system with a USB cable?

NGC2359 Thor's Helmet 11960 L.Y. distant in the constellation Canis Major. First chance in 30 days with clear skies in Los Angeles between rainstorms.
20 ea 180-sec exposures.
The central star in NGC2359 is thought to be in the pre-supernova stage, throwing off it's outer layers.

Fantasmagorical!
I did a bit of learning. But mostly I play with my equipment.
I did some revamping and got things refined a bit more.
I'm really sick of this weather, though.
But I've gotten my PC and my mount dialed in now. And NINA working great.
I did stack a couple of runs I have saved.

Astrophotography definitely takes persistance

Wish I could get started, then I could do that on cloudy nights. Wonderful image.
What's keeping you?

When it rained, or was it cloudy for 29 days in March? We reprocess old data. One of my favorite targets, the Rosette Nebula, was captured in Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen III light. Images stacked from 56 ea 120-sec exposures, stacked in Pixinsight, processed to bring out individual wavelengths of gas, and finished in Lightroom.
Do you remember the original Star Trek, when the Enterprise found the Doomsday Machine and Kirk was guiding the Intrepid down its throat to destroy it?

The phrase "One if by Land, Two if by Sea was meant to warn residents that British Regulars were on the move and heading to Concord Massachusetts to seize a cache of weapons .That night 2 lanterns were briefly lit to signal the Brits were taking the sea route which actually was the Charles River.

I am thinking of buying orange and red filters for use on a digital camera to increase contrast with B&W images. Will this work?
It will work, but why? You can achieve the same results with Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One.
I used red filters with film to improve the contrast, but now with digital.

1350 L.Y. distant in the constellation Orion. This was the last time I could set up the rig before 2 atmospheric rivers crashed into Los Angeles. And it was a full moon that night, so the major nebulosity was kinda washed out. Severe cropping was the only solution. That and an Optolong L-Extreme filter to cut out visible light.
Orion usually leaves the night sky by the end of March, and our weather forecast for the rest of the month when there is a new moon is iffy. So this might have been my last opportunity in 2023.
