Hacking the cam in my view has limited application for astro -

400plus has an intervalometer - you can use this for timelapse stuff.

Yeah but at least you can cut your teeth on the process at ISO 800 and plan for a better DSLR later. Got to start somewhere.. I kicked off with my old KM 7D, only 6 mb sensor but it was successful enough to make me rebuild my whole telescope and buy a mount. And more cameras. And other stuff .......

Dammit !! So THAT's how it started, now I know where all the money went..
