Bonjour à tous, je me lance dans la photo Astro on m’a offert un canon R5 Mark II en vue des 45 mpx ainsi de la probabilité du bruit et étant débutant dans l’Astro je me demandais si avec le canon ça serait possible de prendre des photos de la Voie lactée ou si il serait préférable pour moi d’acheter un appareil défiltré merci à vous tous

Yes, why not. A very good camera indeed.

If you’re looking to make Milky Way landscapes I would go with the stock camera. Control over color balance will be a lot easier.

Even if the device has 45mpx in terms of photosite and noise, it won't be disturbing?

Yes, it is still a very good camera with low noise.

No, not at all and what there is can easily be taken care of in processing.
