Powerful view! I think, shutter speed was the slowest, so what was ISO?

1600, partially explains why the image quality isn’t that great, I think.

I agree. Think it would be reasonable to move the drone closer to light sources. Crossroads on your pano look enough bright. Maybe, if it will be possible, you can hover near one of them. I will try to do the same. It is interesting what it will be with ISO below 800.

Thanks 110 metres - max legal altitude here is 120 metres and I like to keep a margin of error especially at night!

Maybe it would be much better at 800. I suspect that the chip in the camera is very small. Bigger chip = bigger a/c though. Spring is coming, so a project to try.

I have heard that above 400 ISO the pixelation becomes quite evident...can anyone else verify this???

I don’t think I could shoot at night with 400 ASA, maybe a comparison shoot in early evening between 200 / 400 / 800 would be a good idea?

There’s a lot of light in that shot pointing upwards, but even then it’s a little shaken in places.
