Lens Comparisons with Canon EF-M lenses for shooting single-exposure Astro shots

I'm going to post this image in its own thread because it might be useful for other members and I don't want to leave it to be buried in the posts of this thread (where I'm likely to loose track of it myself.

I have some interesting results from the shoot tonight. For one, the 11-22mm lens performance was a little better on the M6 sensor than on the original EOSM camera. Less noise and less color banding with more structure in the shots with high ISO and greater illumination with ISO 5000 than I expected. It's still the least ideal of the four prime lenses.
.
I still have to edit the main image I took tonight.  Will have to do it in the morning.  In the meanwhile there's these samples taken earlier this evening as tests.

32mm - a largely unedited image of the Coalsack Nebula with the Southern Cross Constellation. NiSi Natural Night Filter used for this shot.  So many stars visible.  I lost half of them reducing this image.

32mm - Test shot of the powerlines across the street.  NiSi NN Filter used.
Large Magellanic Cloud in lower left corner.  The red hue is from the red lamp I was using

11-22mm - not ideal - but a wide view from this otherwise not-so-suitable lens.

11-22mm - Another shot from the 11-22mm lens - It looks nicer in this shot than in tests taken with the original EOS M camera.
