This is not a video about the OM3 but boy is it influenced by it introduction and the reaction it has been getting. I think it is a no brainer to say everyone is enamored by its great looks. Will that make us better photographers? I think it will.

$2600MC DUO Guides With Narrowband Filters Many skeptics have been quick to voice their doubts about this camera. Often they cite the failure of the much older SBIG cameras from 2003. However the future seams to have a place for this kind of camera and configuration. My own first time testing this was filled with a lot of surprise and delight that this tech is able to work now given just how sensitive new sensors are. I know the Qe of sensors has almost quadrupled since 2003 so on that metric alone it should, in a lot of ways, not be a surprise at all. Cue the music but if others do not or are not already working on similar cameras they are going to miss out on an important new segment of camera hardware. I myself do not like OSC cameras but I love the simplicity of this system and champion it ease of use because I know it will get more people into the hobby. Here is the scope I used. https://www.svbony.com/sv550-apo-refractor-122mm/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=benjamin&fbclid=IwAR3jGrNItI_ETVxt3oaqSXypcko_klsWoG94bt3946_7ORKYw5OuOcffsqE$

Why I Use Primarily 43rds Sensors for Astrophotography and Work

OM System 150-400 Astrophotography Review

$AM5 Mount Review, The First Wind Proof Mount I should have seen this coming before I even purchased one of these but I was still surprised at just how wind proof this mount is. We can totally give credit to the backlash free nature of Harmonic drives. These kinds of mounts are clearly the future. They are accurate and precise. Not to mention this one seams to work flawlessly. Since I have been using it for astrophotography I have yet to loose a single sub to the mount. That is not something I have been able to say about my iOptron months. Even though I loved those mounts they still occasionally frustrated me. There is also the light weight nature of this mount and now that I have lost a lot of muscle mass the smaller and lighter nature of this really has helped me continue to image.
