    I also get none of the problems you experience. You should get your camera checked out.

    Orion is easily recognizable once you know it is there. Orion's Belt is probably the famous part of the constellation, but there is more to the star show than these three twinkling lights. Below the belt (below the left most star -- Alnitak) is Orion's Sword. The sword is usually visible even in light polluted skies, while you need darker skies to see Orion's Bow. The sword contains beautiful nebulas and star clusters.


    This is a four-minutes-exposure equivalent merged with a 42-seconds-exposure equivalent.

    NGC 281
    This is the equivalent of 116 minutes exposure time.
    NGC 281 also goes by the name of the Pacman Nebula.

    desparoz got a reaction from BradM75 in 16-55mm f2.8 on a X-T3?   
    The 16-55 is a great lens, very sharp and the weather sealing is awesome. I really like it.
    As a landscape photographer, I find it heavy.
    If I were buying now, I'd take a solid look at the 16-80 f4, which has both OIS and is WR.
    The 16-55 is great, and if you need the fixed aperture speed, you can't go wrong.

    Greeting from Australia
    I am a long time photographer, new to Fuji with recent purchase of an X-T3.
    I actually started in underwater photography with a Nikonos V, a Nikon F80 film cameras in the 90's, before transitioning to the Nikon D100 and D200 based systems. I then transitioned to MFT mirrorless in 2013, using Panasonic Lumix GX7, GX9 and G9 bodies. These days my photography is broader adventure, landscape and travel based.
    My philosophy is to change cameras only when I have hit the limits of a system, and I have found a limit in terms of low light (particularly astro) photography. I know many would say I should have gone all the way to full frame, but in my reading, tests and discussions, the Fuji system seem to balance great image quality and carry ability. And they seem fun to use, which is important.
    So here I am. Look forward to future conversations. 
    Cheers
