Nice, interesting how the sony ZV-e1 can be pushed in iso as a night vision camera for looking up. Most night vision cameras are full of noise, exception are the military night vision. 409600 iso is close to how much noise there is or more with night vision cameras or monocular.
Shoot in sLog3 and don't go above 80.000 at 102.400 the NR does indeed eat stars. You can fix it partially if you don't use a super sharp lens, or ever so slightly pull the stars out of focus. Also ..never shoot in other profiles than sLog3 as all other profiles have much more aggressive NR, and in most other profiles the star eating kicks in at a way lower ISO.. --(I've tested the a7s3 from release day with this.. and yeah it's sadly not great. The ZV-E1 has less aggressive NR than the a7s3 , rather much more comparable to the FX3 NR in LOG/sLog3. After much complaining, Sony changed the NR algorithm (silently) on the FX3, with FW update 2.0, making it more geared towards the FX6. in NR quality.. and since the ZV-E1 came later, it received that better NR algorithm as well. Hope this helps to answer your NR star eating question a bit.

I am a complete newbie, can you please share your settings to be able to capture this?

The second Base ISO 12800 deletes some stars. Is there any way to solve it?
sry for late reply and there's no solution.
I think forced NR is applied from ISO 12800 (I checked it in 709, slog3)
It's weird, but it's not bad :/
