4 second exposure.
F/2.8
ISO 6400
2 seconds between shots.

I'm trying to get used to the field of view provided by a 105mm lens.
I tried to shoot the big dipper. I could only get half of it in the frame at a time.
Most of my astro time lapses have been ultra-wide angle, I was surprised by how many more stars appear with a telephoto lens.

Does anyone else notice a high number of hot pixels occurring on their Z6, or is it just me? I did a double sensor cleaning right before starting this sequence to remap the sensor, and you can see new hot pixels creeping in just seconds into this video.
