Re: Anybody using MFT bodies for astrophotography?

I'm in the same boat and have been trying to figure out a good scope to try my hand at AP. I know that to get good at AP I will have to invest time and money. I have been thinking about a refractor like this one:

I see the 80mm recommended for more stability but would I be better off with the 100 or even the 120? Is this a decent scope to start with, paired with a good mount?

I have decent moon shots with my EM5 MK II and the Oly 75-300 and the PL 100-400, but I would like to go to the next level. Great thread!
