The landscapes look a little blue/cold on my ipad. I need to look on my MacPro with colour calibrated screen. ISO3200 should be not too noisy on the D800. I have a D800 also and cant say that it is particularly noisy at that ISO which is normal ISO for my flamenco work. I have difficulty with using ISO3200 and above as I also want to use either 300 f2.8 or 200-500 for these eclipse events. The problem is the subject is against a black background so the metering is useless unless you spot meter. Even then the subject exposure can vary during the event.

Thank you Eric, I was on the verge of ringing you for tips on combining the images but I decided to go ahead and see if I could do it myself. I had taken the moon images at one minute intervals, I had to omit two then include one and so on from each set but when I layered them, for some reason they weren't positioned right, some too close together some too far apart, perhaps the pixies and elves had been playing on my tripod? In the end I pulled out grid lines for the correctly positioned moons then continued the pattern, then I placed the misbehaving moons in their correct places.

LOL My screen isn't calibrated so it may be better using the iPad, which I think will probably be as accurate as most alternatives. ISO3200 should be not too noisy on the D800. I have a D800 also and cant say that it is particularly noisy at that ISO which is normal ISO for my flamenco work. The moon is bright enough it shouldn't have needed extra boost from higher ISO, ISO800 would have got the job done, moon detail definitely suffered. I have difficulty with using ISO3200 and above as I also want to use either 300 f2.8 or 200-500 for these eclipse events. The problem is the subject is against a black background so the metering is useless unless you spot meter. Even then the subject exposure can vary during the event. With these subjects I always review several trial exposures to get into the ball park, add a little experience, check the histogram and pray! One problem I had was using the D800 in the dark, the layout is quite different from the D3, changing the settings in complete darkness isn't easy, especially with gloves on, I do use a red head torch but even that can wreck a set of images if I'm not careful so I try to do without the torch if I can. This was taken with the D3 and Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 fisheye... The moon is the large fat trace. The bright glow is Sellafield Nuclear plant, it always glows!!!

Just been checking my exposure values after looking at Eric's post. In fact my eclipse photos were 1 sec through to 1/15th second. All on tripod. BTW: Robert my ipad and MacPro screen are fairly equivalent so yes your images look icy!!

Robert switch on LCD top plate light using the control around the shutter. Push far right! Works on all the top level Nikon DSLRs

Just found a selfie! Strong shadow from the super moon. This is from the D3 and fisheye. Must have been in the last batch, 6:19 am, facing North (ish). Am surprised the D3 didn't pick up on the ice like the D800 did. The ground was white and rock solid with ice, normally that area is soggy, mind where you stand wet.

(But I frequently turn it the wong way, and turn the camera off!) The D500 is good with the illuminated buttons. I will get used to it but I had got used to the D3, which is much easier, due to the buttons not being crammed together.

Really like that last image with the D3 +16mm. I reread your earlier post and realise now that the images were by moonlight! Hence their icy tinge. It changes my expectation. Sorry, colour is correct/perfect for the conditions.
