Another very impressive shot Spad.

What sort of equipment did it take to get to this level ?

It was shot with a K-S2 that was mounted on an 420mm f6 Refractor Telescope with a 0.8 field flattener/reducer. That lot was mounted on an EQ5 equitorial goto mount. It was tracker and guided with 180mm f4 guide scope. This had a guide camera mounted on it, that was controlled by a Pi4 running PHD2 guiding!!

Impressive description of your equipment - sticking a wotsit onto a thingy and so on - and a most impressive demo of what it can do.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
