Pentax K1 Mk II
In our review, we said:
“Another great feature that Astrophotographers will love is the Astrotracer technology. This technology works in conjunction with the built-in GPS to make sure you get beautiful star and Milky Way shots. The Astrotracer takes into account the earth’s rotation as you perform long exposures on the night sky. You can get 5-minute exposures using this feature.”

Olympus OMD EM1 III
In our review, we said:
“The starry sky AF feature on the Olympus OMD EM1 III works in two different ways. There is an accuracy priority that makes focusing a bit slower. Additionally, there’s a faster option too. You should ideally just be using accuracy combined with Live Composite. Then, just hang out wherever you are with friends and have fun.”
