Hi!

I took recently pictures of stars with long exposures (up to 15 minutes).
They all came out featuring a large red shadow blob in them.
It looks like a fake Aurora Borealis.

On the OM2000, as it turns out, the viewfinder underexposure led (red)
is always on during a whole exposure, using a cable release or not.

When I remove the lense and keep the shutter open, I can
see red light inside the camera body...

Removing the battery is thus required for long exposure.

Are other OM cameras suffering from the same problem?
