How did you get the focus on the stars? That's something I've always struggled with on mFT.

It's not hard at all. Just use magnify and focus manually. Adjust until the stars appear as small as you can get them. If you have a manual focus lens, set to affinity as a great place to start.

You will probably have to take a couple of shots and review them. Star trailing is more of a problem than focus being off.

You can't focus on stars with AF unless you are using the EM-1 III or EM1x with Starry Sky software.

EM1X doesn't have the Starry Sky update.  But I agree with the rest.
