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?

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.

Oh no, this is my only concern then.  I'm supposed to buy the X-T3 yesterday for Astro specifically, but after researching more and more, I was convinced that the X-T100 is better.  But now since you mentioned that the RAW file from the X-T200 is similar with the X-T100, I might hold off for a few days and wait for your opinion regarding the X-T200.  If it has the same sensor, performance for Astrophotography as the X-T100 I think I might just get that one.
