Fujifilm X Pro1 astro test shot out of the box.

This is a tripod 10 second exposure (crop) taken with a Fujifilm X Pro1. 35mm (53mm - 16MP APS-C XTRANS CMOS) @ f/1.4 iso800.

Gradient removal and a few tweaks in Pixinsight.

The lens at f/1.4 is not very usable for AP due to significant coma in the corners. Cloud prevented further experimenting.

The colour mosaic is not a standard Bayer matrix. Fuji claim that this reduces Moire significantly, and no need for an antialiasing filter, improving image sharpness. The IR filter is not too strong either. The infrared guys are taking advantage of this from what I read. It would be interesting to buy the cheap adapter on ebay and fit my 200mm prime and see what gives - maybe, sometime.

Playing with this camera, claims about image sharpness seem validated. I did lots of reading prior to buying it as a more realistic replacement for all my gear (which I am selling off) and needs. There is an adapter available from Lipon (China) to fit Leica and Nikon lenses.
