Hi gents. I am doing the
DIY astro camera with a Nikon D70s I picked up. This camera will be ratted for the sensor, but in the mean time I wanted to play with it, tether control it via lappy.
Now this camera has no liveview and backyardNikon etc do not have support for the D70s so any control will be of limited use (mainly because of lack of liveview) but tethered shooting is obviously better than none. I am looking at building a USB/Serial controller,
like this or
this but first wanted to ask if anyone is using similar shutter control? I see they have these (above ) working with BYNIK and SGP I thinnk thru serial port control thus I guess they actual control is limited to bulb > 30s, and as an intervalometer, not much else.
Here is one...expensive though.
Thus I guess it's possible to do this same using a Bluetooth SPP/TTL module to wirelessly control thru the Nikon MC2 port?
Maybe a fleabay intervalometer via wireless or IR is a better option?
Any thoughts on this appreciated as I wanted to get one working asap ..just to play before dooming 5the camera to the parts bin!
