A couple more images of the aurora nights in Churchill, Manitoba shot by my wife. Noise on the a1 was almost nonexistent with proper exposure up through ISO 2000 and only needed a slight tap of noise reduction at ISO 5000. What a spectacular camera! Both shots with the Sigma 14-24/2.8 Art.
Saw this owl yesterday, a rare treat for me. Shot it with 6 folks from Quebec, Canada, 4 of them have the Z9 and the 800 PF, they held my A1+600GM+1.4TC and said it weighted about the same as their setup.
^ Very nicely done with the owlets from both. Nice ducks as usual from the north.
Not much variety here. The harrier gave a couple good flybys in some dim and dimmer light.

Topaz DeNoise added a little grid like structure in the last one. Maybe time to upgrade from my really old version. Also could be from underexposing and already being at ISO 4K. A heavier crop:
