Jun 11, 2019 at 23:43 comment added xiota @mattdm The text of the question "Are theses stars or noise?" is identical, but the technology used to capture the images appears to be different. Noise changes considerably with technology, so it's not clear to me whether the older question/answers apply to the this one.

Jun 9, 2019 at 7:21 comment added Michael C Related: Longer exposure & lower ISO or shorter exposure & higher ISO - what gives better results when photographing stars? The answers tend to illustrate why a video camera is such a poor tool for astrophotography.
