Ernie,
Not bad for early results. You may want to shoot in NEH instead of TIF
format.  It will give you all 12 bits of CCD data to use.  I'm just starting
to play with my D100 for AstroPhotography too.  We can discuss off list.

Hello all,

I have begun experimenting with the Nikon D100, and also think it shows
some promise. My early results begin at this link:

While the camera shows potential, I wonder if it will ever be capable of
delivering the extraordinary results obtained by Steve Cannistra, who
has mastered digital astrophotography using the Canon 10D. His gallery
of 10D images are at this link:

It is my understanding that the Canon 10D has a CMOS sensor, while the
Nikon digital SLRS have CCD chips. Could the CCD chip in the Nikon be a
limiting factor in astrophotography?
