I haven't actually used it through my scope yet, but I don't anticipate any problems. I have an OM T ring for my old OM-1 and a 4/3 to OM adapter... I expect it to work just as the old OM-1 did.
I have used it for wide fields though various lenses though.

I did download Olympus Studio for it, but it expired before I tried it
. But so far I haven't found the need for PC control. Focus and framing is no problem with live view and live view assist on (to see the really dim stuff).
I like the fact that I don't need a PC... no fuss, no cables, no bother...
It might be a different story if you wanted to operate it remotely from the warm room of an obs, say, but I can't see me doing that in the foreseeable future.

I can't comment on the 450D, I have no experience with it, but I would expect it to be pretty similar to the E-510 in terms of ease of use given it has live view... (I assume it would have something equivalent to live view assist to boost levels in the live view for very dark subjects
).
