In the past, I have tried using my cable release with astrophotography, but
since I don't have one of those wonderful computer-controlled astro-guidance
tripods, I always end up with circles or streaks of stars. I'd like to get
a motorized guider and take some of those Hubble-esque photos you can only
get in the non-light polluted countryside. The OM-1 is 1000erfectly
suited for this IMHO.
Now if only there were more that I could do to brighten the viewfinder
beyond installing a 2 series screen and using the vari-magnifinder to
acheive that perfect focus... or would setting the focus ring at infinity be
just as good? In any event, it's obvious that I lack experience in this
type of photography, but I AM interested... ;)
I also read somewhere about using gas-treated 800 ASA film for finer
grain... practical, or no?
