Lucky you! Please post details if you get a reply from the tech! Would be very interesting.
I emailed Nikon Sydney and got a reply from the Nikon Professional Services National manager but didn't give too much details. Here's what he said:
"
Regarding the low light performance of the camera from the testing that I have been able to do the low light ability is similar to the D3 and D700 cameras while having the higher mega pixel count.
For the images that you are capturing I would think that the D800e variant would be best suited as the additional fine detail and sharpness would be beneficial.
I do not have example images of astro photography from the D800 yet if I receive some before the launch I will forward them on."
I wait patiently for some astrophoto examples but won't hold my breath! But the signs are good if what he says is true. Now for what the tech thinks....!

Very nice. Pre-Production models, so you couldn't take any files away unfortunately.
Have an email address of a Nikon tech to ask questions about effects of the antialiasing filter on chip sensitivity across the spectrum - was a bit beyond the knowlede of the sales reps!
