Hello everyone!
Going to do astrophotography in the next weeks, using my Canon 550D. Last time Magic Lantern helped me a lot: I used time lapse feature to setup an automatic shot sequence and leave it go while I was doing something else (like sleeping).
This time I'm planning to shoot M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, and need several different exposures to get it right.
I remember that months ago someone here talked about a scripting feature, not present in the current stable, that could help me in this project. I actually need to do something like this: 10 shots at 600 sec with 30 sec of pause between each photo, 10 shots at 300 sec, and so on. Perfect for a script!
Is this possible with recent nightly builds? Is there any reference for the scripting language used?
If scripting isn't possible at the moment, is it possible to change the minimum value for the "stop after" option of the time lapse tool? 100 frames are really too many for my needs, I actually would be happy with 10, 15 or 20 frames.
thanks in advance
