Seems counterintuitive that a slower system should be, erm, faster?

Weird.

I'll test it again when I get the opportunity to verify - this was based on two individual 1 sec exposures.

It could be anomalous short exposure response of the 1600.

Could it be that the bias / moon phase / target was different in these two scenarios?
