I’ll probably just play around and just do some landscape scenes just to learn the camera. The kit lens that came with it isn’t exactly a lens I would pick for astrophotography. So, I’ll probably start shopping for a scope and mount next.

My RP made it. Very nice build quality. The online manual is huge. Contains a lot of pictures but is still 612 pages. Been pouring into it. Great stuff. Here is my very first picture. Just pointed down at my desk while reading the manual.
Shot with a 12800 ISO, 1/60th shutter, F5 aperture with my lens designed for landscape outdoor shooting. This just random attempt got me pretty excited. Can't wait to get good with this thing!
(Didn't even set the camera to raw capture yet either):
My handwriting is so bad!!

any attempts at astro? just curious, wanted to see some photos
I am having a hard time finding a good base plate to work with my new tripod so I haven't tried yet. I think that probably is resolved this Weds. So maybe this weekend. I did rig up something in my backyard, in the middle of the city, with my landscape lights still on and a moon in the sky and got this shot. I was pretty shocked how many stars it pulled in considering I could barely see any from my viewpoint and how little effort I put into setting up this shot:
I can't tell you how exciting it is to have a camera that can do proper depth of field in a photo again too. I am still noobish but these kinds of pictures are fun to be able to shoot again:
Having a lot of fun with it so far. Still so much to learn!

this looks like it'll be a great location for astro
Better than my backyard. But, it’s surrounded by city lights on all sides. I have a couple of other sites that might work also. Maybe this weekend I’ll get a chance. The moon is favorable early on.
I tried last weekend and the sky I tried was disappointing. Not sure much Milky Way is visible right now.
Cyan,
This video got me excited too. It looks like they are really making it easy for us noobs to get into this lately:

I am thinking of just starting with an 80mm triplet instead of 60mm. But the rig might be very similar to this one. (with my RP attached of course)

wow, I need to look more into that, it makes it simple for us lol
*update*
looks like the ASIAir currently don't support Sony Camera's so I'm out of luck for the time being, it does however support your Canon EOS RP, at least the plus version is showing it does on their site.

Cyan,
Finally got up to some decent sky and got a few shots with my RP of the Milky Way. These were shot with a 16mm fixed focal length lens, at F2.8, ISO 1600 for 30 sec exposure. Unfortunately, the Milky Way is not that high in the sky yet. But these first attempts were pretty cool. A car came into the shot in the second one and I thought it would ruin the shot. Instead, it made it more awesome
Yumm

Still a noob at post processing. But this one came out better. I learned the higher ISO shots are even better after post processing. This one was at the same shutter and f-stop settings. But with ISO 3200. The original raw is greyish. But after some minor tweaking it looks like this:
