Sorry, yes they use a long shutter, and you get a blurry photo with the noise combined. It's a double whammy.

Yes, but is the whole pipeline calibrated to each other? IOW, does what you see equals what you save? It's not always true on a smartphone, but it's "What you see is what you get" on a mirrorless.

Nice, but you might have done the same astrophotography with a CCD module designed for astro or with a wet plate, and both are very different from using a mirrorless camera, esp with one of the latest generation of sensors, which you can just point and shoot and get a more than decent photo of the sky above you. So, my point still stands.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, and get my camera and leave for some greener pastures before the rains start.

Have a nice day.
