thanks for the comment! My go-to iso is 800 in dual gain sensors, or 200 in single gain ones if I know I won't push it for more than 3 stops. So if you can get a decent time, say 3-4min without tracing, then do an iso 200 and push the files ex-post. X-T2 is ealy not the idea camera for astro, it has the star eating problem and amp glow, x-t100 has none of those.

Hi Aramgrg,

Wow thanks for the detailed response! I wonder though, are the X-T100 / X-T200 using a single or a dual gain sensor?

x-t100 is a single gain, most certainly x-t200 is the same.

And yes you're correct about the X-T2's star sharpness issue... I have compared it with my very old 5D Mark3 and I get very very sharp stars (on wide milky way shots) on the 5d compared to the X-T2, but I like Fuji's colours more.

x-t2 is more sensitive to the h-alpha than my canon 6d, and I suppose 5d as well.

Also I'd like to ask, is the Rear Display on the X-T100 good enough when manually focusing on stars?

Not really great, I need to do occasional short exposures with bahtinov mask to achieve perfect focus. In live view x-t100 picks the brightest stars only.

Here in Australia, I can get a second hand X-T100 for about $500 used, and a brand new X-T200 for about $900. I'm not sure if it's worth it for me to spend more for the X-T200, and so I'm also waiting for your experience regarding the X-T200!

Thanks

With current discounts x-t200 is a really great deal in US($500 with 15-45mm), so it makes sense to try
