Also Nikon D800E for about the same price as a Canon 5D Mk 3; a straight out of the box for astrophotography

Night Shoot not equal to Night Sky Shoot, then for AP DSLR, Nikon D800E is the way to go for now. Some more super high res, 36MP.

Re: Canon 1Dx or 5D3 the Best Night Shooting Camera?
While the 800E does have outstanding resolution and sensitivity, do remember it is still relatively insensitive to H Alpha so its less useful for nebulae.
Having said that, my unmodified D700 is still a very good AP camera, so the D800 should only be better.
In terms of H Alpha though, its going to be beaten by an old, modified Canon D450

DON'T PANIC

sample nebula taken with the lesser D800
presumably an unmodded unit.
see here
D800E great potential. Currently no supply, back ordered. Strange plenty of 5D3
Maybe Nikon does not eat stars anymore or maybe less stars.
