May I ask your settings? I find the limiter on some isos to be quite... well... limiting when it comes to star shot...

 

M + WATE @16mm. 32s. f/4. ISO 400. The model is myself. A hard job to stand still in 32 s :). I had help from a friend to paint foreground with LED light.

 

Its a tradeoff between capturing the movement of aurora/stars and minimising noise/sharpness. Normally I will not exceed ISO 800, but rather underexpose if needed and correct in post. So if the idea was to only photograph aurora I would limit to 2s and sarifice other. But normally I take nightscapes with aurora as just an added benefit, and then i use 8 - 60s to maximise SNR, dynamics, colors etc.

Thanks for watching!
