Most of the Pentax DSLRs IBIS. With a built in GPS (e.g., K -1) or the GPS accessory (e.g., K-70) allows for astrophotography w/o having to invest in an equatorial Mount or exposure limitation based on focal length. 3 min exposure 30mm FF equivalent. K-70.

Hmmmm, whats interesting here is that the moving part is still but the still portion, the ground, has blur?!?! SS
In defense of the image, this was only the third time or so that I had tried this, so my technique was probably not the greatest. I was more interested in capturing the Milky Way than the unremarkable beach in the foreground. Also, there was a fair amount of wind - enough to make me think that my tripod might not be up to the task. Used ISO 800. In my experience with the K-70, ISO 800 does not generate much, if any, noise. Probably could have gone to 1600 without much noise penalty - rookie mistake. Interesting foot note, I made a field expedient center weight for the tripod from a plastic grocery bag (stuck in my jacket pocket against the potential need for a center weight) and sand from the beach on which I was standing.
