Thank you so much, Jerry. I am so excited not only that I can use the camera for general photos and video, but also Astro. This has been a great investment for many years to come. I almost wanted to spend money on a dedicated Astro camera, but now I am confident in my purchase. I am planning on going to Mexico on a cruise, and I am intrigued to see if I can do Astro on a cruise ship. I have a balcony to try it out. Do you have any recommendations for a good intervalometer? I did notice that I can not use a 9v power for the x-h2. How do I charge for long exposures should I invest in a power bank?
