Hi Lars,

These are some of the reasons why I opted for a Panasonic GX85. It has a tilt screen - perfectly useable when the camera is pointed at ceilings in churches (!) or the zenith - and even better, Panasonic have a great WiFi app which provides LiveView on a mobile phone and full control over all camera functions. Arguably the neatest thing is a double-tap on the screen will trigger the shutter - without touching the camera.

The other thing in their recent cameras is they have no anti-aliasing filter, just a Bayer mosaic.

Maybe good enough for some casual experiments with the moon and planets but not good enough for DSOs.

That said I am sure an astrocamera from ZWO or QHY would be much, much better.
