OM SYSTEM OM-3 Astro

The OM SYSTEM OM-3 ASTRO is the system camera for serious astrophotographers who want to get more out of their night shots. Specially developed to capture the intense red glow of nebulae in spectacular detail. The effective resolution is approximately 20.4 megapixels.

Thanks to the greatly improved Hα sensitivity, a specially tuned IR cut filter and optimised colour profile control, the OM-3 ASTRO captures significantly more colour with contrast and refined detail. What you can barely see with the naked eye appears in your image with impressive clarity and depth. The result? Breathtaking, richly detailed astro photos!

With the Starry Sky AF function, you no longer have to struggle with manual focusing in the dark, as the camera locks on extremely quickly even to the tiniest points of light. Combined with powerful 5-axis image stabilisation and the ‘Night Vision mode’ that protects your night vision, this is the ultimate camera for any trip to the darkest places.
