Description Not so easy to get a light image during the night that has no noise in it and Stars like dots.
I tried the Dual ISO from Magic lantern at night to see if i can get some good results with ISO 200/1600. but if you want to lighten up the whole image you have less lines and those are at 1600 this is sadly the best i could come up with this technique. It was quite cold and i had not planned everything through but it defiantly payed off. I know now that i have to spend some time with that technique.
I hope you like it .. Shot canon 600D ISO200/1600 30" F4 Noise reduction!!!

Interesting, I've not seen the dual iso used really (i've not really looked but still!) How does this image compare to a straight image? the results look good here, but a bit soft around the finer details of the tree, ii assume from the NR. looking good though, its challenging doing this type of work!

So your best advice would be to stick to a traditional long exposure for dark nights, if i understood correctly?

yea! because if you use Dual Iso you have to take that long exposure anyway and you reduce the the pixels you can actualy use by half. Im getting good results with Canons integrated Noise reduction for Single shots. But i turn it off if i will stack the pictures in some kind of way.

True i used lightroom to decrease noise.
I have to say that dual iso in my thought is nothing for night /long exposures.

ok you can use it for moving twilight. but maybe if you have a very fast glas.

have to test that next time
