Now if you can get the Pentax 560mm onto your Olympus body, then we'll be happy with that. It might just be a heck of a lot easier to just use a Pentax body though....

I’m sure one of the moderators will be around to help you shortly regarding confirmation emails and the like.
This is a great forum, mature conversations when necessary and not so mature when not!
Looking forward to seeing some of your photography!

I don't think electric cars are as "green" as claimed.
The one major plus, apart from government incentives and running costs as JAK mentioned, is going to be the use of 'spent' batteries, not fit for vehicles but can be used for industries.

And I went out again earlier - thankfully an old friend was able to get me motivated!
This is a stack of around 6 minutes worth of exposures at f/4 and 300mm. I also took a bunch of shots at 50mm but unfortunately they don't really show enough detail due to a very difficult gradient of light from the horizon.
I'm very pleased at the result!
I also spotted an extremely bright meteor that seemed to last ages in the sky, lots of other people saw that one judging by the Twitter reactions.
