I am so amped about the anafi having 21 mp camera but anyone have any tips on night time photography with it, the camera can look up i was wanting to go to the country and get some great star shots but it doesn't look like this bird wants to shoot low light unless i need to adjust settings manually. any help would be appreciated thank you.
21 megapixels, but at night?

The small sensor size does not lend itself well to low light photography. You would need a high ISO which will cause noise in the image. Why do you want to use the Anafi for astro-photography? Surely a ground based SLR with a fast lens would give much better results.
Even with a good light, if you take a still photography - at least in flight - the real resolution is nowhere near 21K, there is always this weird noise/image compression, no matter if you shoot with the best light and in raw format... Vibrations are the most obvious explanation of course, a gimbal on a quadrocopter is not the equivalent of a sturdy tripod, and the real resolution is only a fration of the sensor's. I sometimes use the Anafi to take vertical shots while hovering, and I first wanted to print a resolution test card for the Anafi, to place on the ground, and estimate the size of detail for different altitudes. After a good look at the image quality, I forgot about this idea !
