Tezza,
I haven't had a chance to use the D200 myself but I know somebody who has and sent me some NEF files from his camera. Looking at the NEF files high ISO noise reduction should be turned off as it removes faint astronomical detail. Generally, daylight/sunny white balance is used although when using NEF this should be irrelevant.
Anyway here is a shot of the Centaurus Milky way made using a D200 and 18-200 Tamron lens set to 18mm (the image here is greatly cropped). Note the camera was TRIPOD mounted, and this image was made by combining 6 x 30 second exposures (alignment and cropping was done in IRIS). The 6 exposures had varying settings with some with NR on others without, ISO1600 and ISO400 etc. It was also photographed against the light pollution of Geelong, so you could do a lot better in a dark sky (Have a look for images posted by Loomberah for example).
