Just a post script to my post. The D70 dose have mirror up, I have never used it for astro related stuff. The shutter moves so smoothly that it does not affect the images.

I bought an infra red remote for my camera and it cost $32.00 Au. Other remotes cost over $200.00. This just slips in your pocket and works really well, no contact with the camera at all.

Like Gary I have owned many Nikons and I still own two at present. I started buying them in 1988 and have been reluctant to buy any other brand. I too am a "Nikon" man but can see the limitations of the camera. The D70 iso goes up to 1600, but have never used it yet. It can pull 3 frames a second at Raw mode. The shutter bulb release can be opened for 30 minutes. Never left it open for that long, longest has been 12 minutes.

Anyway just want to qualify some of my post.
