As an update I used the NX1 plus 16-50 s.

Turned the OIS and focused to infinity but the resulting stars were blurry? Realised that I made the schoolboy error of pressing the shutter button rather than using a self - timer so perhaps that was why.

Also, maybe the tripod wasn't stable enough.

Also also I didn't see the starlink so all in all it was a bit of a waste of time. Maybe astrophotography isn't for me.

When shooting on tripod one must disable OIS.

"Image Stabilization (and vibration reduction) lenses look for vibrations in your camera in order to reduce it – however if they don’t find any (like when you are using a Tripod) they actually can cause it – and as a result actually cause camera shake."

One of many 'Sources' regarding OIS with Tripod.

Sorry, I meant to put that I turned it off.
