Remote control for Nikon (like backyard EOS)

[Steve91]

Hi guys,

Does anybody know of or use any software similar to backyard EOS that is compatible with Nikon? I found one called tether pro but I don't know if thats any use or not.

Thanks

HI Steve,

You can download this from here, but I do not use it ( I use Canons ) and you do it at your own risk but it is free.

I also recommend digiCamControl, it is developed by photo enthusiasts interested in AP. So far I didn't have a chance to check automatic capture with bulb setting, but other stuff (timelapse, in-program focusing for lenses, intervalometer) is presented clearly and easy to use.

Another one (freeware again) is dCamCapture, though I used it only for assisted focusing.

digiCamControl is the best for Nikons...and free! 

The guy that made BackyardEOS is working on BackyardNikon so there will be even better software soon.

Recently digiCamControl has become even better - with AP dedicated features and improved interface. So I truly recommend it.

One other option is to use your phone - I see you have an HTC One; there are several tethering apps for Android - dSLRDashboard and HeliconRemote are two that I've dabbled with for macro photography - I might reinstall them and see how much use they are for astro work (They're probably very useful, to be honest, given the position of the camera on the side/top of the scope!)
