Great colors (blue!) Bob. What camera are you using (I must have missed it)?
After some articles on “The Online Photographer” (by CTEIN), I explored the use
of the E-M5 for astro work. It’s pretty amazing. While over in Chelan, WA, I
headed up into the hills (where at midnight you can’t see your hand in front of
you) and tried the technique out. Basically, using the E-M5 at high ISOs (3200
– 4000), with 5 to 10 second exposures (to minimize star trails). The results
are amazing. With a Panasonic 20mm/f1.7, I am able to enlarge the smudge of
Andromeda. Here is an example pointing to the SE (in the Northern hemisphere!):

This was from my first attempt, my next trip will be using a variety of lenses.
The Oly 12mm/f2 was also really great.
