Well it arrived a day early so now I just need to sort this monster out. There is a lot more to it than my previously newest camera the K-3ii. The menus are a bit overwhelming and going from the K-3ii to the K-3iii is bigger difference than going from the K2000 to the K-3ii. Still haven't taken a picture with it

That really only works for film where you have reprocity failure for long exposures. A 500/focal length duration shot will show trailing on modern digital camera, especially along the celestial equator, 300 or 200 works better for producing not noticeable star trails and with 200 one can get slightly out of round stars.
