Hi Markus
Thanks for the comments, I use the Dynamic Perception Stage One Plus slider and Sapphire Pro pan and tilt head for the camera motion, all I have to do with this is set the start and end points of the move and how many frames I'm going to take, the slider is set to 'slave mode'. I use the "Timelapse+ view" intervalometer to control the ramping of the exposures and the movement of the slider. You must first take a correctly exposed photo on the camera at it's base ISO of 100 and then you enter a few parameters into the intervalometer such as the daytime interval (14 seconds in this case) and the night time interval (30 seconds), the only other parameters are the maximum exposure and ISO and how you want the ramping to be done (I set it to shutter speed first and then ISO), it is always best to leave the aperture wide open although the intervalometer can ramp that as well, it is not recommended. Then you start the slider program and then the intervalometer and all the exposure changes are made during the night. I use a plug in for Lightroom which is made by the manufacturers of the intervalometer which removes the flicker from the exposure changes by using key frames, it is very easy
Best wishes
