excellent pics specially the star trails and the control of light with white balance, but don't you think some time if we increase ISO more than 1000 then you start getting pixilation problem , you can say specially in latest model cameras like Canon 7D, 60D etc with ISO 16500 and above and to overcome this problem we can use slow shutter speed and BULB with tripod and remote release. What is your opinion? thanks :pakistan:

It's true that higher ISO settings usually produce noisier images in most cameras, but that can be dealt with software especially designed to reduce noise during post-processing. Even then, ISO settings of less than 3200 are usually recommended - most cameras produce bothersome levels of noise at ISO 3200.

This doesn't mean that clean images cannot be obtained at ISO 3200 or even ISO 6400 with all cameras. This shot as well as this one are both unprocessed exposures at ISO 6400. Shooting at ISO 16500 is plain overkill.

Personally, I like stars as points rather than as trails. Moreover, the Milky Way shows its true appearance and structure only at short (>35 s) exposures and high ISO settings (1600 or higher) or tracked exposures at lower ISO. But if your tripod is tracking the sky, the final photo would usually not be what one would call a nightscape.
