Nice! While we’re on the subject of hobbies only available to decadent Capitalists, I have a question for you: How well to the batteries hold up in digital cameras like yours when taking astrophotos? Years ago, I remember looking for a 35mm SLR with a mirror hold-up lever to avoid draining the battery during long exposures.

lol...

Batteries don't last too long, due to shooting in bulb mode or long exposure mode. What I did is purchased a power supply that allows the camera to run off 110volt. It's the only way and saves a lot of problems.

I kinda thought that might be the case. I’ve never seen a digital SLR with a mirror hold-up.
