This is an interesting project but I have one question regarding the D800.
How is it's live view in low light?
Silly question I know but I have the D810 and it's low light live view is beyond disgusting for an expensive camera. It becomes nothing but noise in low light use and is useless as a focusing aid for astrophotography. I run in and out with my CF card to check focus on my 27" monitor attached to my computer because I can't see a thing in live view. Then I have to hope I don't bump my lens when I put the card back in (mainly for widefield/Milky Way.

Daylight use I have absolutely no complaints but once the light levels drop so does it's quality.
