Yeah, I am currently a little bit between a rock and a hard place. I would prefer to keep to one of the "standard" frame rates or a multiple or even divisor of, in case I ever put it on a screen that lacks flexibility regards frame rates.

That currently leaves me with the options of reducing the rate (It is 25FPS now, I could cut it to 15) but I thought it looked too obviously like a group of stills stitched together, or I can shoot more frames so the same frame rate should be smoother without looking like Benny Hill, but for night lapses I am limited by exposure times and in the day, by the seeming limitation to about 1200 frames.

I am trying to reproduce that a couple of times to get some log files for the software author, knowing my luck it is some silly limitation of Windows XP, and getting rid of XP would require a camera update, not really what I want to do at this end of the learning curve.

That said, on that lapse with the moon rising through it I can probably cut the rate down, though the clouds are still going to fly along, it was actually pretty windy.
