Guys,
I have never posted on this forum, so if you can, please help a person get started in Astrophotography.

I have bought an Olympic OM-2 with a 80-200 zoom lense.
I know nothing about the operation of this kind of camera.

What other Lenses and add-ons do I need ?
Kinds of film, websites of interest you may share...

Any information on this new venture will be most welcome.

I have telescopes from a 16 DOB to a Short Tube 80, in my arsenal.

I enjoy seeing everybody pictures and wished I could doo it also someday. Can you guys help ?

Thanks and CLear Skys,
