To push, or not to push...

I'm dropping off a roll of E-200 this afternoon.
This roll has my first shots from the OM-1, with some astrophotos, and some daylight (near dusk) photos of the Castillo San Marco in St Augustine, FL.

Most of the astro work was shot at f/2.8 in the 5 - 10 minute range.
I know I should have stopped down to f/4, but I was eager.
I shot the daylight images and used my Minolta flashmeter III set for ISO 100, because I planned on pushing the film 1 stop.

I'm now wondering if the astrophotos would be overexposed if I push it.

I think I'm going to go ahead and ask them to push 1 stop, because I nearly lost my camera to the wind. I now have a nice little dent in the camera body, and I hope it does not leak light.

In any case, the weather looks good this weekend, and I should see the results of this roll before Saturday night.
