Thanks. Here we just have a blackout due to bad wheather... Best moment to try to somethimg with my Om-1 thanks to your suggestions. Thanks and stay strong :)
This might be better to put in another area, but I couldn't figure out where. If I wanted to do some more astrophotography from a wide angle, would the f2.8 aperture of the Olympus 12-40 lens be sufficient, and/or would there be a substantial improvement in images with say the Panasonic 9mm f1.7? Thanks
Trouble with a lot of the fast lenses is that you need to stop them down anyway. So often they are just as good as a slower lens. The 7-14 is good even wide open for most things.
I have a 9mm 1.7 because i can use filters and it is great for video. I also have an 8mm oly. Oly 8mm is better than the Pana 9mm 1.7 in every aspect. It is much, much sharper, has no coma, has much less chromatic aberration and is much wider. If you want to photograph the milky way, 8mm oly is the best lens for it. I had laowa 7.5mm f2 for m43, laowa 15mm f2 for sony and sony 18mm f1.8 gm before and oly beat them all. However, you must know that 8mm has some CA (not as big as panasonic), but it's easy to correct. When photographing the milky way, this is not such a big problem. Of course, you can buy a better or worse copy. I have two 17mm 1.2, and I had two 25mm 1.2. Both 17mm are great, but one is clearly better. My old 25mm 1.2 was not sharper than the Panasonic 25mm 1.7, but the new 25mm 1.2 is sharp like 17 and 45 1.2 However, i do not recommend it for astro. BtW. 17mm 1.2 is amazing for astro.
@@kamilrakowski23 I have the 17mm f1.2 but my copy is not a great one. It's the lot to lot variability of lenses that I would like to make a video demonstrating someday.
Thanks for the video. I assume most of these settings apply to OM cameras across the board, not much has changed in the menus across models in the years past. I got a question unrelated to the video, maybe you addressed it somewhere already. I just scored a full spectrum converted E-M1 II from KEH in basically brand new condition, I got it mostly for 720nm and IR Chrome landscapes, but I was wondering what your recommendations are for using a full spectrum camera for astrophotography? What filters to use for full galaxy core images? Nebula images? Any issues with particular lenses? I am not even sure you did a video on that topic before! Thanks!
I do not have any full spectrum cameras. There are a few on the OMD astrophotography fb group though. What you would most likely best use it for is emission nebula. Galaxies are broad band targets so they wont get any boost.
I don't do any astrophotography, and I found this video very engaging and informative.
Thank you that means a lot. Sometimes these topics can be boring but they have to be covered so people have a resource for them.
Can you please explain why ISO 1000 is the best for astro? Is it better than iso 200?

Good luck!

@@TheNarrowbandChannel Thanks!
Too many reflections, hard to see the screen
