[APML] OT: Olympus E-1 digital SLR for astrophotography



Apologies in advance for the off-topic question, but I figure someone here 
is likely to know the answer. I'm trying to decide between the Canon EOS 10D 
and Olympus E-1 digital SLRs for both general photography and 
astrophotography. Both are excellent cameras. The E-1 might actually have a 
better and broader range of light sensitivity than the 10D for 
astrophotography, but it employs the new "four thirds" lens design system, 
co-developed with Kodak. I'm wondering if an adapter exists that would allow 
me to couple the E-1 to a telescope. If not, that extra sensitivity wouldn't 
do me a lot of good! Has anyone on this list looked at the E-1 for 
astrophotography and know of any way to mate it a telescope? Thanks.
