Many thanks. As a prospective R6 owner and keen astrolandscaper (with a 6Dii and Sigma 20mm f1.4) this is good information. Thanks.

Here's the mosaic that I took with 6 JPEG images stitched together automatically in Photoshop. These are not stacked. Just stitched together into a Panorama. I spent an hour on it this afternoon to bring out the colors. No additional color was added to the image that wasn't there to begin with. The main tools used in Photoshop were 'Color Balance' and 'Curves' and this was combined with a dodge layer and selective saturation. I could probably spend more time on it but I think it shows that there's some reasonably capability on hand from the R6. I could have added color to make the image more "technically accurate" but I wanted to edit this image without adding anything that wasn't already available in the original images.

R6 + RF 85mm f/1.2L USM - 6x image Mosaic. All colors extracted from the captured image.

Oooh, very nicely done.
