Question About Olympus Hi Res Shot and Is Comet Neowise A Hoax? (Page 5): I have the EM-1,II and the camera needs to be on a trip-pod and does not compensate for subject movement. So...

I have the EM-1,II and the camera needs to be on a trip-pod and does not compensate for subject movement. So I'm sure it's not on the E-5, II or III. As far as I know it's only on the hand-held, Hi-res on the E-1mx and the E-m1,III. That's one of the selling points for those cameras. I think it will be sometime before it's offered on others as an update, if ever. You may need the new processor to accomplish that. If you want to know for sure call Olympus. Good luck.

i'm sorry, but you're wrong. The em1 2 will compensate for minor subject movement and composite parts of one of the 20mp images into the hi res file. The hand held hi res shot is a totally different process.It takes 16 separate images and compensates for hand movement.

You are right that when set right, it will compensate. And as far as the handheld high resolution, it actually uses the small movements while handholding to generate the high resolution shot. Talk about innovative: they used what normally destroys a photograph to actually generate the high resolution photo.

i think Olympus has the most innovative technology out there.

I know. I was playing along, as well. I get it.

It’s hard to find in a lot of light pollution. Look due Northwest at the horizon from preferably an area at some elevation. Start searching at horizon from there up to about 30 degrees. You will need a high quality pair of binoculars if there is a lot of light pollution. I could not see it with the naked eye. The following was shot as follows :
Canon 6D MK II canon 100-400 L
I used 2 second timer delay. 400mm
f 5.6 ISO 1600 1.3 seconds. Manual focus in live view. Shoot in raw if you want to correctly set white balance in post processing. I had serious light pollution from where I was shooting
I am not happy with this photograph but it’s a starting point.

I was able to spot NEOWISE in the light polluted skies of suburban Los Angeles only by using (7x50) binoculars. It was not visible with my naked eye. I did manage to get a pretty poor image with Nikon 200-500mm on a D7500 and a monopod.

You may want to download TPE to your smart phone and see where the closest dark areas are for you. My problem is still clouds being monsoon season. But even without the clouds, being too close to Denver will give me a problem not quite as bad as yours. TPE will show the darkest areas close to you. You will find there are very few places left that are not affected by light pollution. Most of those areas are in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and parts of Montana, Colorado, Washington, and Oregon. The New England states are another good area.

I'm in southwest Ohio. I see it directly below the big dipper. About halfway between the bottom star on the dipper and the horizon. It has to be very dark and no clouds. About 1030 or 11 here. If you don't look directly at it you can see it better. I've managed some nice pics but don't have them off my camera yet.

Just a quick look on TPE found that the closest dark areas for LA are over the mountains and half way between Las Vegas and Mexicali and Las Vegas and Sacramento. Needless to say a bit of a trip but they are the only real areas without excessive light pollution. The ocean side of the mountains is now all light polluted. Yosemite, Death Valley, Mojave, and Joshua Tree would be much better places for you to go and photograph.

Thanks for the tip

Did not see the comet. Perhaps I went out too late and it was already below the horizon. But I did come away with a decent shot of the “Big Dipper”.

Nikon D7200, Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 @ 17mm, 30 sec. @ f2.8.

Unable to upload the photo. Not sure why.
