OM System’s OM-3 Astro Brings Nebulas to Life with In-Camera Stacking

OM System unveils the OM-3 Astro, a nebula-focused variant of the OM-3 with an adjusted IR-cut filter that enables 100% transmission of Hα light for vivid nebulae, plus COLOR1/COLOR2 profiles tailored for astro and starry landscape work. It adds Starry Sky AF, Live Composite for in-camera light painting, Night Vision UI, and a 50MP in-camera High-Res composite created from 12 shots (usable on tripod/equatorial mounts). Two new body-mount filters—BMF-LPC01 light-pollution suppressor and BMF-SE01 soft filter—will work with OM-3 Astro and multiple OM bodies. Pricing is US $2,499.99 and CAD $2,999.99, with filters at US $339.99 and CAD $279.99, shipping in March (filters launching next month).
