re DSLR activation

Depends what I am doing in the field,and how long I am going to be out at night,as to whether its lappy or remote.

I like both,I used to use the cable release that Geoff makes quite a lot with 450D,I just got a 'look a like' canon TCN 803 for 50D on weekend (Thanks DT)

I find it very advanced,and quite capable of doing many tasks that can be done from lappy.And will certainly be using quite a bit.The lappy is good for all nighter-checking focus,pics etc.

But last night a great conjuction-Limited time just grabed the 50D and tripod and cable remote,just what I need in those situations,Really no overall right or wrong as to which is better,Just depend on tasks,I would say I am half and half.

Yes,H is right the little clock thing on EOS utility is very usefull,Although I have recently watched some astronomers using "Maxim" I liked the look and feel of this program,and would like to get a copy for more advanced work.
