October 16th DSLR camera shots.

I Started out well tonight, the third night in a row, a great weekend for observing, and then The Moon started to rise. Gradually, most of the stars faded out.

I managed to stack 16 x 60sec exposures at ISO 400, F4.5.

I was going to try for 100, better luck next time. At least there's a better chance of observing, now the nights are longer.

Using the Cannon EOS software on my laptop, I set the exposure time to bulb.

Once this is done, the timing functions incorporated into the software can be used.

For some reason on occasion, I have to switch the camera off and on again to get the timer icon in the software to operate, but this isn't a big issue.

I found that you need to set a total time interval of at least double the exposure time to allow the camera and software to process the imange plus a 5-10sec delay.

eg.

A 60 sec (RAW format) exposure will take about 130 sec to complete 1 cycle before the camera takes the next image.
