It was taken with a Canon 6D + Tamron 600mm lens on a star adventurer tracker with some active guiding via a guidescope camera. Pretty basic setup for astrophotography :)

Do you see this realtime? Or do you have to do those long exposures?
It depends a bit on what equipment you have, but at least with my gear I don't see much even on individual 100s exposures until I post process to bring out what was captured.
