OM System cameras have a rare ability to autofocus on the night sky and create composite light trails in camera – but the brand’s latest camera takes astrophotography up a notch. The OM-3 Astro is a new custom camera from the Micro Four Thirds maker that’s geared specifically to photograph the stars, including an IR-sensitive sensor and a 50MP high-res mode that keeps the stars aligned.
The key difference between the OM-3 and the OM-3 Astro is that the new star-studded camera uses an infrared cut filter in front of the sensor. This allows the camera to capture the vibrant reds visible in nebulae.
