Hi folks, can anyone advise what is the best method to couple a micro 4/3 to a telescope. Olympus OMD EM10. telescope focuser accepts 2inch eyepieces. Please advise on both 2 inch and 1.25 inch solutions.
Thanks!

hmm..i see that one part of the adaptor connects to the micro 4/3 lens mount. But the other side doesn't seem to be able to be inserted into a 2inch focuser tube?

Scopetronix used to be a very good place to buy adapters but I think they got bought over by another company.

for the 2" Part#T2M43
for the 1.25" part#KM43
I want to test whether the OMD series unmodded ie without the removal of the standard Olympus IR blocker are capable to image pictures like this
The above was taken using an unmodded Canon 7D2.
The weather in KL is not kind to astroimager.
Thus far only object I can shoot is the moon a single frame.
You may have better luck imaging. Do post the pictures here.
