OM System E-M1 Mark III Astro Camera Overview
The OM System E-M1 Mark III Astro Camera is a dedicated camera for astrophotography that optimises the IR cut filter located in front of the image sensor of the mirrorless single-lens camera E-M1 Mark III for astrophotography, allowing you to capture colourful red nebulae that are popular among astrophotography enthusiasts. In addition, the filters included with this product, OM SYSTEM's computational photography, and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses enable a wide range of expression from starry sky photography to full-scale astrophotography, such as constellations and nebulae.
The OM SYSTEM E-M1 Mark III ASTRO has an IR cut filter in front of the image sensor that has been optimised for optical characteristics to achieve approximately 100% transmittance of Hα rays, which are important for astronomical photography. This allows you to vividly capture the beautiful shapes and colours of nebulae that emit light from Hα rays, which are difficult to capture with ordinary digital cameras.
Combining a wide variety of M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses, from wide-angle to telephoto, which can be selected according to the subject, you can capture beautiful images of various celestial objects, from magnificent starry skies to specific constellations and distant nebulae. In addition, using a commercially available Micro Four Thirds compatible adapter, you can attach it to an astronomical telescope and take pictures.
Light pollution filters cut out light from artificial light sources such as city lights and street lamps. This prevents colour casts in the night sky, allowing you to capture the original beauty of nebulae and constellations more vividly. In addition, since the area near the horizon is most susceptible to light pollution, they are also effective when photographing constellations rising in the eastern sky or setting in the western sky.
