[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 696250, member: 13090"] Congrats on the new camera. The D750 is a beast but long exposure shots like you were doing (~20s), especially when using Long Exposure NR, will drain you battery really, [I]really[/I] fast. I found this out myself the first time I did light painting/night shots in the high desert. Keeping the shutter open that long, combined with the added overhead of doing the nose reduction, is the most likely reason you only got ~200 shots from a full battery. If you had wireless enabled that would help drain the battery as well.
