This short film shows the amazing capabilities of the Canon MH20f-SH which can shoot upto 4 million ISO. This has allowed this film about star gazing to show the milky way not as a static picture but actually a film :shock:

Wow :)

I recently got a Samyang 14mm lens and have been photographing the Milky Way over my house in Somerset :) Far less light pollution than in London !

Rather optimistically, last month I tried to capture the Perseid meteor shower from my back garden. As much as anything, I wanted to compare light pollution levels here with a remote location in Dorset from earlier this year. The difference was astonishing, although not really unexpected. Suffice to say, there was very little to be seen in the skies above Croydon.

A minor correction to the title of this thread. Although the camera can shoot at 4 million ISO, the featured film was actually done at a "mere" 400,000. Still very impressive nonetheless.
