My comment really was only to keep an eye on exposure length if you are getting too much haloing around brighter stars. Its one factor you can control. But I don't see much haloing in your image and neither do I see issues with the many fine 8300 images around.

The Sony 694, 814 sensors are starting to get very low well depth so it potentially is more of an issue. Again I think it depends on your scope and perhaps your processing workflow as I don't see the halo issue with Mike's use of that camera sensor compared to what I was getting.

Ok, thanks Greg- Some intriguing thoughts to ponder on there. Cheers 😊
