I learned the hard way that the X-370 is no good for astrophotography.

I still have my X370 I bought back in '85. I never had a problem getting shots of a full moon. I never tried to photograph anything else in the night sky though.

The problem with the X-370 is the electronic light metering system. With long time exposures at night - can get nippy - the batteries get sapped; juice is necessary to hold the shutter open.
