Hi Graham,

I bought a Canon 600D a couple of months back and bought APT to control it. APT is superb and well worth the money, allowing picture sequences to be automated, transferred to your PC, without the need to store them on the camera card, all using the supplied Canon USB cable, so you don't need a remote.

I use my Canon on a C11, but would still use APT even if I used a stock lens, it would just be easier to focus and take time lapse/log exposure pics.

If using it on a tripod without tracking your exposures will need to be failry short, depending on the focal length of the lens/scope, say up to 30 seconds.
