Back from our South Africa, Namibia and Botswana trip, and here is something to start with - night sky with the A16 unit. All photos processed from DNG files, taken at ISO2500 and 15-second exposure. Pleasantly surprised with the low-light performance of the A16 unit. The night sky on this trip is something I'll never forget ... Enjoy!

Living in a city for ages, it is hard to believe there is so many stars out there. Although in the past... some misty memories popping up... well, it is long time ago. Thank you for recalling, Martin.

Wow! Fantastic captures. I'm guessing you didn't correct the local time on the camera, so we'd need to add an hour for the Botswana shots?
The pre-dawn in the last shot is a masterpiece.

Beautiful work, Martin! BTW, the A12 M (with cam on tripod) seems to record an exceptional amount of detail in long night exposures as well.
Amitiés,
