You will find that option is not available.
Can be done with TC80 n for 99 hours or in bulb mode for 99 years but not from the eos utility
Hi Steve,
I take multiple bulb exposures using the EOS utility software all the time.
Mirror lockup has to be disabled and the interval between exposures must be enough to compensate for the camera's processing time - if you are using ICNR the interval until next shot for a 120 second exp must be 240 seconds at least...120 for the light, 120 for the dark. I would add another 10secs for safety's sake.
Using ICNR, the example you gave above would result in a failed shot.
