I was wondering if any of you net.astro.camera buffs could give me a few
pointers on taking pix of the heavens?  What I've got is olympus OM-10fc
system with a 210mm zoom, tripod, wire trigger release,etc...Questions I 
have are, a). What's a good mm size to use, would a 2x converter help to get
410 mm.? b). how long is a half decent exposure and at what f-stop?  I'd
like to do planet photography but that might be alittle unrealistic if its
too much money(obviously pretty high power lenses must be used), and if any
of you have done it, could you send me the particulars on what kind of setup
you use?  Very very grateful in advance...
