That's a really nice tool. There's a couple of things that I didn't know about on the forums there.

http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-...-lens-related:

when the camera sets the aperture "electronically" it submits the distance the aperture lever should be moved to the motor that moves the lever, this is not as accurate as you would like it to be when shooting timelapse. A fraction of a micrometer difference leads to a change of the diameter the aperture opens. That's the reason why many photographers use lenses with aperture rings, shoot wide open or use tricks like described above when shooting time lapses.

Also, apparently some cameras have trouble with keeping very fast shutter speeds consistent (e.g. 1/6400s) and so you should use ND filters to avoid those high shutter speeds.
