My first astro camera from about 15-20 years ago.....If you want to have a go as they did in the olden days, here's your chance. A mint condition Olympus OM-1 SLR film camera, which was the favourite with film guys back then. I even still have the Olympus OM T-adapter. It comes with the standard Zuiko 50mm f/1:1.8 lens and a Vivitar 35-70 f/1:2.8-3.8 zoom/macro lens, UV filter, and already has an OM 1-8 astro focusing screen in the eyepiece. There's also a Starblitz electronic flash unit. These near mint OM-1 bodies go for about AUD180 on EBay, but I'd rather someone use it for astro than go to a collector.
