Here are three tracked images with the D500 and two with the D810 for comparison. Contrast, color, and chromatic abberation corrections in Lightroom. No noise reduction. No in-camera noise reduction. Base 25 sharpening. Exported as full resolution jpegs.
I was surprised at how good the D500 files were. I'm used to shooting shorter exposures at much high ISOs for astro. At full resolution, noise levels seems fairly close between the two bodies. I don't know if the additional cost of the D500 is worth it over a D7200. I would guess the D7200 would perform fairly closely. But if you also have a need for the D500's AF, or just want a build/layout like the D810, then I don't think you can go wrong with the D500.
If you want to mess with the D500 raw files, I can upload them to dropbox and send you a link.
