Star Trails - D800E and 14-24mm

Hey guys,

I have been really happy with my D800E so far. Yesterday I decided to try it out for a long exposure and check for any problems (amp glow etc.). I took the shot below at Joshua Tree - the exposure time was 2 hours and 29 minutes. I was really happy to see that there were minimal hot pixels and no amp glow. I used the 'Astro Noise Reduction' feature in Capture NX2 while post-processing the RAW file and the software did an amazing job of removing the hot pixels. The camera definitely is a winner.

Just wanted to add a positive review of the D800E, given there are so many negative ones floating around here (not to say that those people aren't right).

Star Trails, Joshua Tree. 2 hours and 28 minutes exposure.

Cheers,
