Cornelius Varley Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 AstroPhotographyTool gives you more control of a Canon Eos dslr than the Canon software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 APT is great. I use it for all my DSLR imaging. There's also Backyard EOS which does pretty much the same things. Some people prefer APT, others prefer BYE.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Presland Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks guys, for the info, I will use APT, What shutter speed and ISO setting would you recomend for example Jupiter ?you would be much better off using your webcam for planets and using the DSLR on deep sky objects.
