I shoudl get off my lazy R's and use my D7000...probably will, if we end up in dark skies outside Canberra

Thanks Mike I've done a repro as the original was overprocessed and pushed too hard.

I'd like to see some at ISO3200 for comparison and try running some noise reduction on each frame before stitching.
Hi Mike, Yes its pushed way too hard. I did a repro this morning and got it more natural. Signal to noise ratio is weak compared to multi hour CCD images so its a more delicate approach. All part of the learning curve.

ISO6400 is pretty useable and clean on the D800E like the 5D3 much the same. So I think its more the processing. See the repro and see what you think. I'll experiment with ISO3200. I did some experiments with higher ISO. ISO12800 is starting to show some noise, ISO25600 is getting colour background noise intruding. ISO6400 seems at this stage to be the sweet spot. 5D3 and D800 should both handle ISO6400 without any trouble.

..............ahh, nikon, understand, NP
I looked at it this morning and yes its pretty ghastly. Using CCD imaging processing bashing the image too hard and it can't take it. I need to be more of a delicate flower handling the DSLR images.

What did you say about the Nikon - OMG -Where's the ignore button again?

Greg.
