I'm not astro-inclined, but I decided Monday that I'd try it anyway. I took
two OM-1s and a stack of lenses...

...and didn't get out of work in time to do anything approaching what I'd
planned. I wound up only getting to try the 50/2 Zuiko Macro, 90/2.5 Tamron
SP Macro, and 300/5.6 Celestron - and not much of the latter, since by then
the planets were very close to the horizon.

I was on the ramp at Galveston Municipal Airport, the darkest place I could
find in a hurry, and expect some interesting results from the runway/taxiway
lamps, and aircraft, in the foreground...
