Anybody using MFT bodies for astrophotography?

All the time!

I use m43 (and 4/3s) format extensively for astrophotography.  Maybe 90% of my astrophotography is with MFT or smaller formats.  I found many of my targets are already so small that even with a MFT sensor I am cropping in including this shot of the moon made a 55 exposure stack using an Olympus em1mk2 and 1990's vintage Celestron C8 with 0.7x focal reducer.

55 x 1/250sec ISO200 images combined in Autostakkert, sharpened in Registax. Camera em1mk2.  Scope Celestron C8 at F7.
