But if you wanna' freeze the motion of stars high ISO performance is critical.

Aw, jess bring a huge field tripod with clock drive as for a Meade or Celestron 8" or larger SC mirror 'scope, a 12 volt car battery, then clamp that Pentax to it with some gaffer tape and let 'er rip! Take another shot with it unplugged for the foreground, then merge.

Merry Holidays and a fortune filled New Year to you all, stars or not!

Yes, and they're absolutely correct. I tested the camera for 3 weeks and as
