Not the best shot I'll ever take but not bad for a test.
ISO6400 is the new ISO1600!
30 seconds, F2.8, Nikon 14-24mm F2.8ED at 14mm, Nikon D800E stationery on a tripod. Stars start to trail even at 14mm 30 seconds.
Next test will be with the camera on a mount.
A few notes, don't use noise reduction in Capture NX2 it slaughters the image. In camera high ISO noise reduction used here but ordinarily I would use a dark library and flat. No vignette control as it boosted the whole image too much. White balance was high colour flourescent lighting.

Also here is another test image at ISO25600! It could do with a little bit of noise reduction but it shows a lot of promise about what these next gen DSLRs are capable of - that's ISO25600! Shot in RAW, converted in Capture NX2, processed in Photoshop CS2.
