Id be interested in seeing how it handles some longer shots, say 5 mins. Even if unguided star trails with the lens stopped down, would be interesting to see how effective the dark subtraction is, because it looks very good with these shots now, no sign of noise .

Yes as you say it takes and subtracts a dark frame for each image.
See review page 17 at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxistds/page17.asp

When the weather breaks I will try try some longer shots, I also want to try some wider angle shots with an 18mm and a fast f1.7 50mm.
