There is also a new software which automates and captures your images on the computer wthout the need of a long exposure cable just via the usb cable.
Hi Eric
Did you get the TC 80N remote control.
You will need it if you wish to do interval exposures > 30 seconds with mirror lock up enabled. The EOS utility software does not cater for intervals > 30 seconds with MLU. This function is grayed out on the menu.
Check Dennis's post with regard to this.
you will learn to use this camera very quickly and produce stunning pix as always!
The live view works great for focussing on bright objects like Sirius but not the fainter ones.
