Over exposing helps reach critical focus during the focus assist function, as the stars will be a little brighter, then switch back to your real exposure settings to drop the shutter.

Funnily enough here is an uncropped more or less straight out of a little X-M1 from tonight, same x-trans sensor and so-on as the X-T1. I don't photoshop my pics and it's probably obvious, oh well..
Looks good mate, thanks for that
