Does anyone know of a freeware or at least cheapware program that will allow me to automate exposure runs of say 10 x 6 minute exposures.

the cameras i am using are cannon dslrs 300d and 350d.

thanking you in anticipation.

I use the software that came with my 40D but I don't think it will work with the 300d or 350d.
You could try http://www.stark-labs.com/DSLR_Shutter.html

I've used the software you've downloaded from stark labs.However to go past 30s exposures you'll need a DSUSB adapter. shoestring astronomy make them .

G'Day Terry! Hows life in the fast-moving-cloud lane!?
Is this any good for my application?? Unfortunately i cannot use anything that works on USB2 as i can't get cards (to replace the USB 1.2) for my laptop apparently!

Hi Chris
Yes it would be good but as said above you need a remote control to go beyond 30 secs with that program. You can make them or buy it from shoestring astro.
