Thanks! Do you also find that when you get to ISO 3200 the star colors seem to become pale, regardless of shutter speed? I think this has to do with reduced dynamic range. I've been keeping ISO at between 800-1600 to keep star colors rich regardless of the shutter speed.

I find exactly that. If I'm shooting stars I use 1600, but I find if I want the milky way I get better results if I use 3200. Below 800 I find I get banding, but I really haven't experimented much with different iso settings, just full stop changes (200, 400, 800, 1600, etc)
