I have the Oly OM-4/3rds adapter and was thinking of hooking my E-510 up to my SV-80 scope using a SV CA3 2" camera adapter. Also trying to figure out how to connect it to the trinocular port on my microscope...

It says it can do dark subs to on night photo, not sure its usable for deep sky photo work. I think it can do 60sec exposures, was thinking maybe to get it as dual role (prime focus and daily DSLR -------------------- Celestron C-8 Canon XSi Post Extras:       ctcables Vendor (Reco Labs) Reged: 11/14/06 Posts: 151 Loc: Oregon Re: First Image with Olympus E-510 [Re: EdKiefer]       #2141838 - 01/24/08 06:13 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The E-410 is the same as the 510 with out IS and a few auto settings. I got the E-410 for Christmas and it is a very good camera for the price but I was not happy with AF in dim light and low contrast. It was nice and light and worked great for most all other photos and the kit lens was good as well. Because of the slow AF and lack of upgrad options I ended up with the 40D and am very happy. I did lots of reading and the IS on the E-510 is worth the extra $100 over the E-410. Now if size is a problem the E-410 is smaller than the E-510. Hope this helps out. -------------------- Telescope F4.5 14.6 inch Fused Quartz Mirror strehl .996 18 PT carbonfiber mirror cell Antearies Quartz secondary 2 strut carbonfiber Feather Touch focuser Main scope is 31 lbs Time to build off and on for a year.

I have not gotten a chance to do any guided DSO AP, but I have noticed that noise is not a problem with noise reduction turned of in raw imaging at 400 ISO. LP limmits me to 3 min at 800 iso and 2 min at 1600 iso without a filter.
