Thanks Anthony.
This Nikon seems to work best at 1600, I have tried it at 100 400 800 1600 3200 and 6400 I dont know but it seems less noisey at 1600 and colour really seems to come and go but certainly from my view there seems no better colour at low iso.
When I used canon cameras the drop in iso showed a huge colour improvement and rarely went past 800 and mostly at 400.
The air has been very moist the past two weeks of shooting and I winder if that has anything to do with colour ...the light gets refracted a little and colour is lost maybe.
Anyways I have not really started to process because my lappy is stacking non stop if not with the mount.
Each stack takes about four hours and a few disappear so have to be done again...I have lost about five stacks for whatever reason so that is near twenty hours lost stacking time.
And I have had runs that I was not happy with the star shapes that I deleted...other runs where just adjusting stuff...but I have a few now to work with.
Where I am now you can see everything so you dont need goto...I can see Lagoon Eagle and Swan clearly and the Prawn region.
Add a little skill from my pool playing days and I find things faster than the mount can swing to
