The abandoned house address is: 2119 SW Nevada Ct., Portland, OR 97219 US. Check it out using your favorite online map software & street/satellite view. Look for ghosts.
I'd be tempted to buy it just to keep it out of the church's grubby little mitts, but that's just how I am. Plus it would give me an excuse to go back to PDX...
 
A bit of night photography with the S5 OG:

Neat! Where is this?

I do have to admit, it reminds me just a little of a certain notorious statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest. sheepish look
It is in Upper Austria. It is a Park for children with thousends of lights. It is open from November to February. Today is the last day.

 
It is remarkable how good is the S5 at ISO 6400...
You're talking to S5ii owner who did birding at 12800 and 20000, I know the score.

Always better to go as low as you can though as colour noise and DR suffer.

Ideally not above 6400 for anything, IMX410 is about the top which physically can be achieved in CMOS. IMX366 and others need to use 'trickery' in a broad sense of computational NR etc. Baked in NR has been used for a decade by now. I expect S1Rii to still be lagging somewhat but lets see what trickery is employed and the results. True astro fanatics will unravel such.

For me from Pentax K30 16MP APSC in 2012 to S5ii it's about 2 stops improvement, making my Samyang 14mm f2.8 like a f1.4 regarding astro/light gathering. Obviously it doesn't work for DOF!

Physical photon gathering wise we need different sensor tech, FoveOn is 1 stop faster without RGB filters but I believe that is a physical dead end unless they computationally compensate that successfully.

On dpreview there are good threads including the literal God of sensors but right now I forget his name as I'm rather worse for weary on cider

Yup. The fp, too. That was one of the biggest things that influenced me to rent and try the fp - a review with a shot of an interior scene, with dim red lighting, at high ISO - and it looked gorgeous.
