What could go wrong if using an OM 4Ti and make a couple or more Spot
readings of the Moon itself?
I'm planning to do so this night, and include some Earth landscape
which does have quite a bit of artificial (mercury) lighting.
Will be using Provia 100F, and the Zuiko 300/4,5 + 1.4X-A and 300/4,5
+ 2X-A; stopped down to ƒ/8, mounted on a Manfrotto 055X Pro B w/ 804
RC 2 head. I might try the 1.4X and 2X together, just to test the
combo.
Advice welcome.
Fernando.
