    You're welcome. I know how important it is to give thumbs up for your videos to be known to the world. Here in South Sweden, it was spring yesterday, and today it's snow storm and completely white outside, so no difference on ground or air. Luckily the birds are accustomed to shifting April weather. I will spread words about your videos as good as I can.

    Hi Lee. StarySky works great on Panasonic lenses. I use it frequently with the 9mm f1.7 Pany

    Am setting up my new OM-1 mark II custom settings in preparation for a planned trip to Death Valley next week, so this came at the perfect time. Thanks!

    I forgot to click thumbs up yesterday for this video. 😅 Now its done. And video shared.

    Found out the other night that really bright aurora will mean one has to carefully pick the correct part of the sky to see stars for Starry AF.

    Heading to Death Valley to hopefully take pictures of the night sky. I have an Olympus that is a little older so I do use your hints for manual focus and they work well. Looking forward to any video you do of the night sky. They are a joy to shot.

    Hi Lee, I’m getting conflicting info about using Pana Leica lenses with OM1 for Starry Sky. Some people say only M Zuiko lenses work and others say Panasonic lenses also work. Sadly I don’t have any Zuiko lenses to test with. Can you solve this mystery? Thank you.

    One good reason to still use shutter button focus… arthritis in my thumb. After a few minutes of back button focus I’m miserable.

    Lee, early morning June 4th, six planets are lined up, and are able to be viewed before sunrise. Maybe you will see this before morning. Might still be the case for a few mornings.

    Thanks for this video Lee. I just wanted to see if you'd changed your mind on Panasonic lenses with OM system starry sky AF. Multiple sources on various media are claiming that the Panasonic Leica 9mm f1.7 works great with OM bodies with starry sky AF.

    Thanks Lee, this video made me an instant subscriber. I really want to buy the 7-14 f/2.8 and I was wondering if the ND feature on the OM-1 Mark II can replace the need for physical ND filters, or is it not quite the same? Thanks!!

  • @ImageMaven
    @ImageMaven

    Thanks Lee! Curious why you’re concerned with C-AF settings? Wouldn’t S-AF be better? Also do all Olympus lenses work with Starry Sky on the OM-1?

    What ISO should we be using? And how to determine length of time shutter is open?
