Was just about to mention this announcement.
Did you see the in-body filters, including one that MAY have some effect on the
foreground problem?
"BMF-LPC01 Light Pollution Filter
Reduces artificial light interference, preserving true nebula and constellation colors for cleaner, more vivid night-sky
images."

OM has new Astro modified cam like the previous E-M1-MkIII Astro. They probably just pulled the filters off as it is not suitable
for other photography w/o many machinations. They did preset some custom modes which are convenient, but easy enough to set up. Using
HHHR on a tracker was figured out by users to work well and now they advertise as a feature. What they did not do was fix the problem of
it stacking on the foreground if not enough sky is in the image or if too much sky glow. If they could just keep the cam
stacking on the stars no matter what if starry sky AF was used, they can have my money. Digging into it, I am almost certain they did
not. They should have put the effort in to do so. Curiously the normal OM sensor filters block almost 100% of Ha light
but Sony only about 80%.
Not sure, but not immediately sold. I greatly applaud the idea though.
Eyes on the sky, Mike
