No wonder I can't recognize those star patterns...Down Under. Perhaps that's Sagittarius ("upside down" as I am used to seeing it) near the bottom?
That would be the Southern cross right at the top and the two 'pointers' a bit lower. Basically our version of the North star

Went and looked it up. I suspected the two "pointers" were Alpha and Beta Centauri (the one time I was far enough south, I had seen them, they are VERY hard to miss). I had forgotten they served as pointers to Crux. It does look like one of the four stars in Crux might be off the top of the image, which made it even less likely I'd recognize it. (And I suspect some stretching up-and-down like with any very wide angle lens.) Crux itself "points" to the south celestial pole, of course, rather than being almost precisely on it like Polaris is.

By use of one of those celestial sphere globes, I think I've identified Triangulum, and I can see where Scorpius ought to be but I can't trace it. Sagittarius wouldn't be quite where I thought it was though, and I still can't trace it either (it may be lower left behind that tree limb rather than where I was looking). Those latter two constellations I can see from here.

Moon before the clouds rolled in at sunset.

R6, RF800, RF 1.4x, BR-E1, tripod, DxO PL4. 1120mm, ISO 800, f/16, 1/160s

View attachment 198422
By coincidence, I also tried out the RF 800 + RF 1.4x at about the same time (next day), but on the R5. We had a very rare clear night and the moon was a strong orange colour. Similar settings to yours.

Here is my first attempt at a moon shot with my new R5 (with EF 600 + 1.4 on tripod). It's been cropped to 7X7 from the native 27X18. I'm surprised it came out as good as it did given the amount of turbulence visible when trying to focus at maximum magnification. It was taken during one of our brief clear sky windows, which are few and far between these days. I hope to get another opportunity soon to try for another shot with less turbulence, but I'm at latitude 49 degrees, so this may be as good as I can get.

As a side note, it was easier to find the R5 than the basic EF-RF adapter, which I found surprising.

Last night’s pink moon:

adapted EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM @ 300mm on M6 MkII

…transferred to iPhone using Canon Camera Connect, edited/cropped on iPhone and then uploaded to CR using said iPhone.

In other words, these images never saw a traditional ‘computer’…unless a phone qualifies as a computer.

Kind of fun!
