Right.  If Gary Reese can't solve it, with all of the precautions and 
experience he brings to the table, what chance do I have?

Maybe a lens like that needs a custom sleeve made of plaster of Paris?  And an 
astronomer's mount?  Maybe the auto diaphram needs to
be removed from the lens too.  And a specially modified OM-1 without the 
diaphram-driving mechanism.

PS, And an outboard spotting scope....

PPSS. On a poured-concrete pillar, bolted to bedrock.  Or maybe just get a 
compact telescope and a T-mount because many of these
things have already been adressesed.
