Is the Sony a7R IV Good For Astrophotography? (A7R4 Low Light Test / A7R IV astro)

How does the Sony a7R IV perform when shooting in low light and does the A7R4 eat stars in astrophotography? In this video I take the Sony A7R4 out at night and attempt to do some low light photography and astrophotography.

It’s been a minute since you posted this video. Do you have any further opinion of the a7RIV for Astro work? Thanks!

[@jasonrobertsphoto]

Hi, I prroduced some really nice astro images with my r4 :) :) Especially if you combine with stacking to get even lower noise: th-cam.com/video/njyduvHDEN4/w-d-xo.html
