Carl,
EOS Utility is all I ever used when I shot with a DSLR (300D, 350D, 40D, 5D Mark II).
It's just too simple and pain-free to have to bother with other applications.
Set your bulb exposure for however long you want the exposure to be, set the interval value to be the bulb exposure, plus about 10 seconds, or so.
So, example:
Exposure (bulb): 5 minutes
Interval: 5 minutes and 10 seconds
The ten seconds gives the system enough time to download the image to the computer (if you've got it set up that way) before taking the next image.
The other beauty of EOS Utility is the remote shooting feature, which means you can stream the Live View image directly to your laptop; bung on a Bahtinov Mask on the scope (use the Bat Grabber software for ultimate accuracy), and you'll be in focus within a matter of seconds.
Hope this helps.
