I've never shot with a G3, but I took this with my EM-5 at ISO3200 a couple of years ago. I'd imagine you could get similar results from G3, maybe at a bit lower ISO. There's definitely noise there, but its not too bad for 3200 from an m43 sensor I think.

25 sec. ISO 3200

Have you used the in camera noise reduction for that? In your image I can tell there's a bit of noise but it looks overall nice. What I got from my G3 at iso 800 (not to mention iso 1600) with long exposure noise reduction off was absolutely atrocious and unusable.

Since the G3 is my backup hiking/cycling camera, it would be awesome to make it work for night skies, in order to avoid missing the 6D on a starry night out.
