In the end i gave up with frustration and packed my gear lol. The camera lense fogged up very fast. I dont have the t-thread adapter as yet to mount into the scope.

oh also, the set exposure time 2 mins, changes everytime it takes a shot? eg: 1st shot 2 mins, 2nd 55 seconds, 3rd 1 mins, 4th 8 secs, its very strange.
I've had this problem also. I can download thirty or forty images from my Canon, then it refuses to work. I have tryed switching everything off and then starting up again, but still won't work. I suspect it is an electrical type problem---batteries losing power or usb cords getting too cold or something. Anyway, I now use a remote controller for my camera and download from a card reader. Not as slick, but at least it works.
