May 29 1998

   Well, today I jumped the gun a bit and bought an Olympus OM-1 35mm camera for taking pictures of the night sky. So what if I can't really find things to take pictures of yet. When I do find something interesting, I'll be ready with the camera. :)

   I'm told the OM-1 is a great astrophotography camera because it's fully manual, has a lockable mirror, and is cheap. The only difficulty is focusing the object through a  telescope. I plan on buying a small focusing tool to help with that problem.
