Micro 4/3 camera for AP

Hi,
I recently picked up a nice 100mm refractor from a fellow forumer, and thinking about trying some AP. I've sold off my Nikon DSLR kit and left with an Olympus pen which uses micro 4/3.
My scope has a 2" diagonal and I have found info on a system called True-2 that is a connector directly from the camera lens mount to the telescope.
Having read through the forum and elsewhere micro 4/3 is not very common so I wanted to ask if anyone on here is using a setup that could offer some guidance.
I'm expecting i can pick up a t-ring setup and get going but always nice to hear first hand so i can avoid any pitfalls!
TIA

Providing you can attain focus and have manual control over settings, it will be interesting to see the results. Perhaps some wide field with camera lens to start with will provide some idea of image quality.

I have used one, I have an old OLY t ring with OM-m4/3 adapter

The early ones had bad high USO (800) performance, the newer ones are much closer to aps-c sensor cameras

Thanks Dan, when you say the old ones you mean the camera?
