Anyone know how the R5 compares regarding the LV feed / milky way. I am meaning the brightness, not H alpha emission differences. Is it as good as this on the LV feed?
The first image below ought to answer that question for you. The EOS R5 should be VERY similar to the R6 with Live View for the Milky Way. The difference in sensitivity is -6.5EV versus -6.0EV with a bright lens, which is almost indistinguishable. These were all shot in JPEG and were taken using a basic Manfrotto tripod and the self-timer. I believe the results from the R5 would be visually identical with the same lenses, however the R5 should produce a physically larger image with potentially greater detail. The LCD Live View should also be the same.

I have only used the EOS R6 once for Astro - to test it out when it first arrived. It's my intention to use other cameras for Milky Way photography although it's seems to be a capable camera in this respect. The brighter areas of the Milky Way (the Galactic Core and the Karina Nebula were clearly visible in the Live View - and turning the lens to Manual Focus causes the stars to 'sparkle' on the LCD due to the effects of the Focus Peaking.

Marco thanks for that, looks great. I wish canon had a native 24 1.4 for RF, still not surfaced, nor a 20 1.8!
