The resolution is more than adequate and the images I have obtained with it have been perfectly satisfying but for stuff which is much more demanding like night time photography, which I haven't really been interested in before it has always been acknowledged the early cameras, like the D1 and D2xx cameras lacked the capacity to produce the goods. The D300 performance might surprise you even in good light..... Attachment: image.jpeg (Downloaded 21 times)

Lovely Camelia Eric. Perhaps the D300 captures a greater dynamic range and processes the image better than the D200. I always found D200 images benefited from tweaking the levels, that has always been my first adjustment after opening almost any image from the D200. Looking forward to getting out in the field with the D300s and see what it can really do.

Do you know? Looking back at the d300 shots makes me realise it was a really good photography period for me. Not sure if it was the D300 ((I did have the D3 at the same time) or just happier times? It's made me want to double my effort with the D750.

Back on topic... Question...why do you use 50mm lens for these shots? Surely that just means cropping?

I still have my D300 but I use it in my underwater housing. I wast thinking that a D7200 would be rather nice but D300S units that I am watching are much cheaper and probably of more use to me as I can possibly get it to do video underwater.

I wanted a wider view to stand a chance of catching a meteor, they can occur anywhere in the sky, in fact, apparently the radiant point isn't the best place to point the camera. I just kept pointing the cameras at the clearest area of the sky. I didn't want to use the zooms because they are so slow and would need to be stopped down a bit to avoid CA. To use the 180 or 300 would reduce the odds of capturing a meteor to almost zero. A fisheye would be better but everything would be tiny, any meteor would be so small it would be difficult to spot them.

The 20mm will give you x4 area of sky captured compared with the 50mm.
