"Long Exposure Noise Reduction" reduces mostly hot pixels and sensor noise. You'll probably want this because of the improved image quality and fewer hot pixels (stuck to bright red, green or blue). Yes, it takes a bit of time. But personally I would leave it on. If I'm in a hurry, I might turn it off for exposures of 10 seconds or more.
I use ISO 10000 for the Milky Way images. I use to use 6400, but switched to 10k after realizing there’s was very little difference after stacking. I’ve used lower though on deep space objects that was probably closer to 500.
Nice job Will. One thing I have noticed on .NEF files is that if you turn lens correction on and apply your lens profile, the two sliders- vignetting and distortion, distortion will add pin cushioning gradients across your image. When I first noticed it, I thought it was my D850 sensor, but turning off lens distortion removed the issue. Heads up.
Got any advice? I’ve been trying to fix this for a while and never can seem to get it right. Using a Diety shotgun mic. I adjust to try and peak at -1, add a parametric equalizer, then a compressor, and a delimiter at -1. But I agree it could improve, I just don’t know what to do or where to begin because those basic adjustments are what I’ve learned through RUclips videos, but obviously it’s not working with my setup
Clear and concise explanations. Thank you.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.
Specific content for Nikon Z8 is great!
Great advice Will. What ISO do you use? i have watched a tutorial where they say that ISO500 is the sweet spot, would you agree?

Great! 3 fixes

Actually all of these are applicable to all Z cameras including the Z5 (mine) ... and images are so very close...
Terrible audio

@@willchaneyphoto i found it ok, but the music playing while you're talking was annoying
Yes will. Again great content. But why don‘t you just omit the background music. Would make it so much better.
