Thanks Mike. Originally I planned it only as a test and I have multiple exposure lengths/ISO settings as a test of ideal settings. It looked better than I expected. This is from my front yard!

The extra Ha is very well done.

Thanks Jo. yes the Fuji X series now starting with the more budget XM1 (otherwise its the same internals, in fact slightly more modern) all have superior low noise at high ISO. Its from the fact Fuji invented a different colour array that goes over the already excellent Sony Exmor 16.3mp sensor that is used in many cameras (Sony Nex 5 and 6, Pentax K, Nikon D5100 and probably several others). One of the benefits of the colour array is less luminance noise and less colour noise. Its a 6 x 6 colour grid as opposed to 4x4.

I did some comparable images last night with my D800E Nikon so it will be interesting to see how the 2 compare. The Nikon weighs about 3X as much as the XE1 which may mean the Polarie can't do real long exposures with the D800E whereas the XE1 is light so it can cope better.

Greg.
