Basic widefield Imaging Primer for Lumix Cameras

[Chris]

It's probably fair to say that most of us use Canon cameras for astrophotography, and for good reason - they're easy to mod, simple to operate, and then there's the software support. I've personally lost count of the Canon cameras I've used, but amongst them there has been a couple of Pany Lumix cameras which have done a good job, namely the G80 and now the GH3. Not the best low light performance but they do have some good traits. 

Anyway, I've noticed there isn't a lot info regarding astrophotography with Lumix cameras, so I thought I'd start a thread for Lumix users which might be interested in using their cameras for a spot of astro. 

I've just finished a light hearted video on the basics of widefield imaging with a GH3, and I have a few others which I'll post below to get the ball rolling. 

Please post any thoughts, experiences, tips for these cameras below  

Oh yeah, Olympus counts too as they share the same lens mount, lens eco system, and M43 size sensor. I do want to try an Olympus at some point.
